Juliana: It isn't all your fault. It was really hot last month.

Nicholas: How come?

Mitchell: You know what? I just saw a shoplifter caught in a retail store. They turned him to the police.
Sophie: That should definitely teach him a lesson. Last week I read a nows report on The China Post about a female shoplifter caught in a Wal-Mart store. In lieu of a 60-days jail term, the perpetrator chose to stand outside the store with signs reading "I am a thief; I stole from Wal-Mart."

Alec: I read an impressive story last night. Before I tell the story, tell me what kind of activity you'll do when you're in your 70s.
Sari: I'll probably want to retain an active lifestyle. Perhaps I'll walk dogs in a park or play Majang.
Alec: Well, check this out. A 75-year-old black woman named Barbara just finished a "North Pole trek," making her the first black woman and one of the oldest people to accomplish the feat.

Al: Climate change and global warming are hot issues recently. There seems to be a TV news report on it every hour!
Sadie: Indeed, and in newspapers as well! I read a bilingual story on The China Post yesterday. It said that a six-year study has found that the cause of the "White Syndrome" coral disease that afflicts Australia's Great Barrier Reef is directly linked to warming sea temperatures.
Al: That's terrible. Looks like the Great Barrier Reef will come to a  bad end in the long run.

Alex: I took my grandma to the hospital for a blood test last night and found out why she's been so reluctant to go.
Sara: How so?
Alex: To measure her blood sugar levels, the doctor pricked her finger for a drop of blood. Granted, it's not as bad as drawing blood with a syringe, but it's still rather uncomfortable.
