M: Will you plug this in... Oh, wait a second...let me just look at this message.

W: You're always looking at messages on your phone! How many messaging apps do you have, David?

M: Four? Five? Maybe six by now...

W: If you have an average of 10 people on each of those six social networks who send you messages every day, that's at least 60 conversations! Let's say you spend as little as one minute on each conversation... That's a whole hour! But you would probably spend two or three times that much for each person... What a waste of time!

M: Calm down, Maggie. It's my mother. We're making plans for the weekend.She's one of the five people I regularly text.

M: Where are my glasses? I can't find them.

W: That's a problem. You need glasses to help you find things, but what do you use when you need to find your glasses?

M: I should have some in a brighter color — yellow or blue maybe — then I could find them easily. Brown is too dark.

W: You should buy one of those strings so you can wear them round your neck when you don't have them on.

M: I don't like them. They make me look old. I'm only 28 — almost too young to be married!

W: Well, if your colleagues see you wandering around looking for your glasses, they might assume you are far older.

M: Yes. Tomorrow I'll get one of those strings from... What's the place where they sell glasses?

W:Are you losing your memory as well？

W: Hello, Bruce. I haven't seen you this past autumn.

M: I know. My parents put me in a private school.

W: What do you think so far?

M: The school is really nice.

W: I heard that you can't wear the clothes you want. Is that true?

M: Yeah. We have to wear a dress shirt, a tie, and dress pants every day.

W: Really?

M: Yeah, but there are other cool things. They don't take away our phones, and we are all getting our own personal computers when the spring comes.

W: That does sound cool! Do you have much homework for the holiday?

M: I just completed a book report, but I have a quiz on Africa when I get back. How about you?

W: All I have to do is read some chapters from my science textbook.

M: Since we both aren't busy, why don't we plan to meet up for a cup of coffee?

W: I'd love to. It will give us a chance to catch up.

M: Yeah, and it will give me a chance to wear something other than a uniform!

M: Hey, Alice. I'm sorry I am late.

W: Don't worry about it. Did you have trouble finding a spot to park?

M: Actually, that wasn't the problem. I left early enough to avoid the traffic, but I couldn't get across the bridge.

W: What's happening on the bridge?

M: I couldn't tell. I just saw the road signs, so I turned around and took the long way here.

W: Well, it looks like we missed the worst of the weather. It was pouring this morning.

M: That's good. I can see the sky is clearing up and the wind has stopped. What are those tents for?

W: They're for the food fair. It will close soon, so you'd better get over there if you want to eat.Unfortunately, you came a bit late for the music.

M: So what is this event all about, anyway?

W: It's just a community festival we have every year. All the food, entertainment and activities represent the many cultures in our city.

M: Cool. What's happening across the street at the stadium? I saw that the local TV stations are all set up there.

W: That's where all the dancing and sports events will take place. This area is for families. I saved us this spot on the grass here.

M: That sounds fun. I'll go to grab something at the tents, and then meet you back here.

Jin Yong, the famous Chinese novelist, wrote many books about martial arts. He is considered to be one of the three greatest wuxia writers and Hong Kong's most famous writer. Jin was one of the best-selling Chinese authors, with over 300 million copies of his works sold worldwide. Jin was born in Zhejiang Province, the second of seven children. Even as a boy, Jin enjoyed writing. He was admitted to the Department of Foreign Studies at the Central University of Political Affairs in Chongqing, but he left to study international law at Soochow University. Jin was planning to have a career in the foreign service, but in 1955, he began writing his first martial arts novel, The Book and the Sword.In 1957, while still working on wuxia novels, Jin got a job writing movie scripts at Great Wall Movie Enterprises Ltd. and Phoenix Film Inc. In 1959, Jin co-founded the Hong Kong newspaper Ming Pao with a high school classmate. Many of Jin's most famous wuxia novels appeared in the newspaper, including The Smiling, Proud Wanderer and The Deer and the Cauldron. Jin Yong fused martial arts, fantasy, history and romance into must-read novels. Many years after he had stopped writing novels, Jin earned his Doctor of Philosophy from  the University of Cambridge in 2010.
