M: The thing I love about maths is all the problems you have to work out.

M: I don't get it. You're always reading travel books, yet you never actually go anywhere!

W: Well, I can't afford it right now...Not everybody is the son of a banker, you know. But when I finish studying and have a doctor's salary, I'll travel the world. You'll see!

M: From what I've learned in lectures, to cure an infection, we have to clean the wound first. Then, we must close it.

W: My friends have good intentions, but sometimes they're so negative. Honestly, it brings me down sometimes.

M: That's common at your age, Gina. I think life in high school is great. However, with life changing so quickly, it's easy to be at a loss.

W: But you're always in such a good mood. How do you maintain such an optimistic attitude?

M: Situations aren't necessarily good or bad. It just depends on how you look at them!

W: You're right, Papa. I'll try to convince my friends of this.

M: Just show them a positive example. Eventually, they'll follow!

M: Welcome to the busiest seaport in the world — the Port of Shanghai is essential to the connection of our planet.

W: I'm just a student now, but I hope to manage a shipping port like you one day.

M: Great — I was just like you, at your age. I'd love to explain this port's role in global trade more clearly.

W: Thanks. I've only studied the Port of Singapore in my hometown.

M: Yes, this city's port, at which you just arrived, is an important link for Shanghai's trade. This critical route connects through Singapore, onto India and Africa, and ends in Italy or beyond.

W: I heard this port dates back to 1842 — is that true?

M: Exactly. Now, over 30 million units are processed yearly, with a couple thousand ships departing every month.

M: In the future, many of our current jobs will be done by robots.

W: The future is closer than you think. Several of my friends were fired in a car factory, because robots are now replacing them.

M: Robots do offer better output with less cost.They can operate all day and night.

W: This is true, but my friends are no longer earning any money.

M: Hopefully they will be able to find other jobs.

W: It is getting harder to find a job that will not be replaced in a few years' time.

M: This is true. I read a report that said in this decade, 3% of jobs were at risk from machines.

W: I read the same report. That number would jump to 33% during the next decade.

M: Yes, but it also pointed out that robots and artificial intelligence could boost the global economy by $15 trillion.

W: Do you think they will replace lawyers like us?

M: Not anytime soon.

W: We have to work long hours, but at least we have job security.

W: What do you think when you look through your telescope?

M: Well, I think about my job, which is to look into space, look at planets and discover what knowledge they offer.

W: Yes, but what are your private thoughts about what you see?

M: That is a good question. What is your name?

W: Jenny.

M: Well, Jenny, even after a quarter of a century in this job, I am still filled with wonder when I look at planets and stars.

W: Do you wonder whether there is life there?

M: It depends. When I look at Mars, Venus or the object I am viewing today, the Moon, I am pretty sure there is nothing living there. Further away...well, maybe.

W: At my school, we had a competition to draw what we thought a space creature would look like.

M: Ha-ha. That is fun, as long as it doesn't scare you too much, because the fact is, scientists and explorers have never found evidence that such things exist.

W: Oh, I see.

M: So, Jenny, what will you and your friends be doing next? Going back to school, or going home?

W: I think we are going to have our lunch at the café here.

M: Would you like to look through my telescope before you go?

W: Ooh, yes please.

Dear diary, it's the 10th day of my bicycle journey from Beijing to Mongolia.Tomorrow will be one of the hardest days. To be honest, it's not the physical challenge of cycling 10 hours per day, nor is it the burning July sun in this desert-like part of northern China.The real challenge is the loneliness of cycling for days without any company. The local people in the cities are so friendly, but I've only just been able to make friends with people who can speak English. But tomorrow morning I'll have to say goodbye to the lovely family that housed me. I stayed here for an extra two days after this family helped me order food at a restaurant and invited me to stay at their home. They generously offered me a ride around their town, and amazing introductions to local food and tradition. I'll miss them a lot as I continue riding north through the desert. I write this now, not just to motivate myself to continue, but to remind myself that each new friend I make on this trip could provide material for my new book.As I sit here, looking out into an empty desert road, I feel so thankful for the friends I've made and so inspired by the experience of traveling.
