M: What a great gallery！It was a tiring journey, but now I feel refreshed here. I am glad to see these paintings in person.

W: Let's go to the impressionist section. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

M: I'd like to start with the abstract section, because that's the kind of art I do for a living.

W: OK, we'll do that. After that, the impressionist section, and then the modern section.

M: Sounds great. Oh, look at this. I can't believe I am standing face to face with such a famous work of art. How much do you think it is worth?

W: When it was first painted a century ago, the artist struggled to sell it. He sold it for only a few dollars in the end. Even 50 years ago, it was only valued at a few thousand.

M: I bet it would go for a few million now.

W: You are right.

W: Have you found a job?

M:I majored in Computer Science,  so I want to work in a technical company.

W: How is the pay for that kind of job?

M: Well, some of my friends started out with a good salary. I think that's a good thing for me. After all, the computer is an important tool for the development of future technology.

W: Have you ever thought about continuing your study? I think you should do that. It can increase your professional knowledge.

M: My teacher told me the same thing, but I don't have enough money to do that at present.

Are you a tea drinker? If so, you're not alone. Every day around the world millions of cups of this popular drink are drunk, and it's been that way for thousands of years.  Now, Türkiye is believed to be the top nation for drinking the most tea per person,  followed by the Republic of Ireland and the UK. Tea can be poured from pots, or made in the cup using tea bags and the latter is causing concern.  Scientists from McGill University found that some tea bags released a lot of micro-plastics into water, which is bad for people's health.  Most tea bags are made from paper, with a small amount of plastic used to seal them. This has led to debate about whether they can be recycled, but many are still used as fertilizer for growing plants. However,  gardener Mike Armitage  has told the media that the plastic contained in the soil could be washed into streams and rivers and finally out to sea. Tea bag producers might be doing their bit to reduce plastic pollution. Meanwhile, the consumers' efforts count. We can also try many kinds of drinks like milk tea. Or it could be a good time to switch your favorite drink to coffee.
