W: Bruce, I've finally completed this project. Ouch, my back is really hurting me today.

W: Did you find what you were looking for, sir?

M: No, I will try my luck at the city library later, but I did find something interesting here — this book about life in Victorian England. 

W: Good. This book is part of a “buy one, get one 50% off” deal. Would you like to pick another book?

M: No, thanks.I had a look, but there was nothing else that caught my eye.

W: OK. By the way, we will invite writers to talk about their books and share some writing skills next month. Would you be interested? 

M: Yeah, please tell me more.

W: Ben, did you get an invitation to Kelly's party?

M: Yes, Ruth. I'm really looking forward to it, but I'm afraid I can't go. 

W: Why? What's the matter?

M: I've caught the flu lately, and I don't want to risk getting worse or spreading anything to others.

W: What a pity! I'm planning to attend, but I'm a bit worried about the loud music. You know it always gives me a headache.

M: Maybe you could bring some soft material that you can put into your ears to keep out noise when necessary. That way, you can enjoy the party without the noise bothering you.

W: That's a good idea. I really don't want to miss it because I'd love to catch up with everyone. Plus, it's a great chance to relax and have fun after all the studying we've been doing. Thanks for the suggestion! 

W: Excuse me, I'm new to this area. Could you tell me how to get to the bank?

M: Of course! There are actually two banks close by. One is the Green Valley Bank, and the other is the Sunrise Credit Union. Which one are you looking for?

W: I think I need the Green Valley Bank. I have an account there and need to take some cash out.

M: OK. First, walk straight down this road until you see a big red sign for Sunny Café. Turn right there. Then keep walking until you see a big flower shop on your left. And the bank is just on the opposite side, which is not so obvious and next to a shopping center. I can draw a map for you.

W: That would be such a great help! But honestly, I'm still a little nervous about finding it.

M: Well, I'm heading that way in a few minutes, after picking up my daughter. If you don't mind waiting, I can walk you there.

W: Really? Thank you so much!

M: No problem at all. 

Text9

W: My husband and I have only done hot pot maybe once or twice at home, but I was never good at it.

M: Don't worry, I often show foreigners like you what to do with Beijing hot pot. First, the meat. This is really thinly sliced meat. We'll just grasp one piece with the chopsticks. Like this. 

W: Okay, got it. Then what?

M: Put it into the boiling water and wave it back and forward a little. It's going to be cooked through in about eight seconds. Remember, don't cook it for too long. 

W: Oh, I see. That's quick. Is this hot pot style common?

M: Well, it's unique. Our Beijing hot pot features fresh meat and light soup. 

W: Wow, the pot really surprises me and takes my breath away. It's so special in shape. Oh, the meat is ready. It seems delicious. Thank you for explaining everything. 

M: My pleasure. I'll have to tidy tables now, and don't hesitate to ask if you have any more questions.

Sammie Vance knows there's nothing worse than feeling left out. For years, she's been helping lonely kids. She is running the Buddy Bench program. She got the idea for the Buddy Bench program at a summer camp in 2017. The idea was that anyone at school who was feeling lonely could sit on the “buddy bench”.That let other kids know someone needed a friend. “It's really helpful to have other people notice you,” Sammie says. The idea quickly caught on. 

Since there had been a lot of challenges, like financial issues, Sammie decided to make the seat out of recycled materials. So she gathered her community to collect bottle caps. She even got caps from people in Germany, the Netherlands and other countries. In the end, she collected more than 1,200 pounds of bottle caps. Sammie says the effort has helped her learn to acknowledge her shortcomings and take breaks when working on a big project. Before long, Sammie was helping other schools acquire benches. She has donated more than 200 benches to schools and parks around the country, and in Mexico and Australia.Her work continues to spread kindness far and wide.
