M: Okay, okay, you win.

W: Excuse me, but would you mind waiting your turn at the end of the line?

M: Let's talk about our group project. First, we need to divide up the tasks.

W: OK! I'll take the research part. Can you handle the slides?

M: Honey, look at these items. We can't take them to the new house, right?

W: Excuse me, you've stared at this painting for ages. Do you find it interesting?

M: Yes, it's by local artist Sarah Lee. She uses light and shadow to create movement, even though the scene is still. It's like Impressionist style with a modern touch.

W: Oh right! The description says she draws inspiration from natural light and paints at different times for changing shadows.

M:No wonder it feels so alive. That detail makes the painting even more special.

W:Ryan, I'm going to school to be an auto mechanic.

M: Do your parents know, Jane? Auto mechanics are usually men's jobs.

W: They are in favor of my career goals. I love working on cars. My friend James is majoring in nursing, by the way.

M: Nursing? That's a woman's job.

W: Men can be good nurses too, caring for the sick and elderly. Are you saying women can't be carpenters or truck drivers?

M: I just think women are better suited to secretarial or waitress jobs.

W:You must have been stuck in the 18th century with that mindset.

W: Good morning, David. Thank you for joining us. To begin,what do you think is the most common mistake people make with their online safety?

M: The most common mistake is using simple, repeated passwords.

W: That's an important point. So, what should everyone do first to improve their personal online security?

M:The very first step is to turn on two-step confirmation. This adds an extra layer of protection besides just a password.

W: Finally, what is your most important advice?

M: Stay alert and cautious. Double-check any unexpected messages or requests, even if they seem to come from someone you know.

W: Thank you so much for sharing these helpful insights, David.

M: You're welcome.

W:Hi Leo! Have you finally decided what to study in college?

M:Yeah! I've made up my mind — I'll major in medical science.My biggest dream is to be a responsible doctor to cure the sick.

W: Awesome! But being a doctor means lifelong learning, right? You have to keep up with new medical knowledge.

M: Exactly! My uncle is a famous surgeon in a big hospital and he still takes professional training courses every year. It's really demanding, but I'm fully ready for it. What about you?

W:I love ancient artworks deeply, so restoring antiques is definitely my favorite career choice.

M: Meaningful! Doesn't this job need great patience and dedication?

W: Absolutely! Restoring one ancient painting or broken china vase usually takes months, even years. And it also means never stopping learning new restoration skills.

M: True.Both our choices need dedication and lifelong learning. Let's work hard together for our dreams!

W:Hello, my name is Ed Crane.And with me is my service dog. His name is Zern. He is trained to help me with epilepsy. Epilepsy is a terrible disease that causes a person to move their body suddenly and violently.When the human body is going to suffer from epilepsy, it gives off a smell that a regular person isn't able to find. But the dog is able to smell it about 15-20 minutes before I can feel it. And once he smells that, he then starts to run my legs as he was trained, regardless of the time of the day or anything else. I am trained at that point to immediately lie down. And the reason is to prevent falls or injuries. Since I've had this dog, I've had no injuries at all. He can do about 30 other commands. He has given me independence and the ability to do things I wasn't able to do before. That's amazing.
