W: What do you think of my new clothes? Everything was on sale at the store yesterday, so I got a great deal.

M: You look really good. Did you pay a lot for them?

W: They were about $300 in total.

M: That’s too much money for just a top and some shorts. Did the hat and shoes add to that price as well?

W: No. I bought the hat and shoes a long time ago.

M: I never spend that much on clothes. My most expensive piece of clothing is a jacket that I got on sale.

W: My laptop is causing trouble for me, Mark. I think I need a new one.

M: Are you still using that Microsoft Surface? I’m surprised it has lasted for three years!  So, have you finally broken the screen?

W: No. I don’t drop it anymore. I always use it on a table.

M: Well, is the screen losing its brightness? I heard that could be a problem with those thin computers.

W: No. The keyboard doesn’t work half the time. I think it’s a software problem, but I don’t know how to fix it. I can’t take it to be repaired for free, either.

M: You can use my laptop. I hardly touch it, and the keyboard doesn’t come apart from the screen like yours does. Besides, IBM makes better computers, in my experience.

M: Hey, Laura. What do you think I should do over the summer holiday? I have so many choices. I could work for my uncle, make a study tour to improve my Spanish, or practice the guitar for hours a day.

W: I heard you playing the other day. You do need more practice. But how do you feel about each of those?

M: I don’t know. They all have their good points and bad points. The work is boring, but helping family and gaining work experience are important. The study tour would take me to places I haven’t been to. Maybe I’ll figure out if I want to study abroad later. As for the guitar, well, you said it all already.

W: When I have many choices, I usually imagine what would happen if I said yes to each one. Start with one, and really imagine how you would feel if you did that. Then take a few deep breaths, and repeat that for the other choices.

M: OK, I’ll try that right after I play the guitar tonight.

M: What have you been so busy with lately, Maria? I haven’t seen you for a long time.

W: My publisher just gave me a huge assignment. I have to have this new work finished by the end of this month.

M: I didn’t know you were a writer. What kind of book are you writing?

W: I don’t technically write it. I just review the written material and make changes to it so there aren’t any errors.

M: I see. That sounds like it takes a long time.

W: Sometimes. This one is hard because it is non-fiction. It is the life story of an Eastern emperor that lived hundreds of years ago.The fact checking is what takes up all the time.

M: I can imagine.

W: Not only that, but there are different histories about the man from European and North American scholars. It isn’t easy to figure out what is true, and what is just someone’s opinion.

M: How long has it already taken you?

W: I can usually finish books like this in four months, but this one has taken me twice as long. There is a lot of information in it, and it is a very important work, so I want to do a good job.

M: Well, let me know when you are done. I’d love to read it.

There are plenty of mysteries of this planet. One of them that have been explained, however, is the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle. The Bermuda Triangle is an area between three points in the Atlantic Ocean that create a triangle. It has been said that throughout history, many ships and boats have gone missing there, never to be found again. It was first mentioned by a famous explorer, who said he saw a "great ball of fire" in the ocean. It was again referred to by the famous writer Shakespeare  in one of his books. But it didn’t become a popular story until the 20th century,   when an American ship disappeared in the area with 300 men on board. So why have there been all these reports of missing planes and ships? Luckily, today we know the real answer. First,  the area is well-known for stormy waters and bad weather.   Second, many inexperienced sailors have gotten lost because of poor sailing equipment and the lack of fuel. And finally, accidents are common in the sea. In fact, there are just as many accidents in other parts of the ocean as there are in the Bermuda Triangle.         So, if you are planning to take a boat ride through the area, just make sure to be safe!
