Jessie: All thanks to global warming. Everyone has to do something to improve the situation, since no one can get away from it.
Eryk: Check this out. According to a story I read in the China Post, scientists found that using modern methods to make cows burp less can help ease global warming, since a cow belches out about 100 to 200 liters of methane echo day!

Jace: How's everything going?
Clara: Not bad, though it can be better if my brother stops playing video games all day long. My parents are so angry about him and nag at him all the time. I don't know why it's so hard for him to quit video games.
Jace: I think this can explain the reason. According to a story I read in the China Post, psychiatrists said that video games can be as addictive as heroin for some kids. Even if they want to stop it, it's still hard for them to break the habit.

I'm so excited! I've finally arrived in San Francisco for the Big City Adventure treasure hunt. I'm on my way to the first location, the famous island of Alcatraz. The prison there was deemed escape proof. 36 prisoners tried in 14 separate escape attempts, although 5 were never found. I hope I don't disappear mysteriously when I leave.
以下是 Google Translate :

Grayce: How was the party last night?
Mats: It was awesome. Besides, I have a crush on a girl I met there, though it seemed she was not attracted to me at all. I'm not the type of the man she likes, I guess.
Grayce: Hmm. I bet you'll want to know this. According to a study I read in the China Post, a man who resembles a girl's father can make her heart flutter the most easily!

Matthew: I remember last month you signed up to take the GEPT? How's that going?
Grace: So far so good. I spend a lot of time studying for it. Though I can't imagine what I would do if I failed it.
Matthew: Just sign up again. A 73-year-old India man failed his high school exams for the 39th straight time and still vowed to try again next year -that's what I read on Yahoo! last week. So taking another test would be no big deal for you.
