W: Oh, it’s so nice to be out of the cinema. It was so hot there. I thought I’d melt.
M: Terrible, wasn’t it? Well, what did you think of Out of Africa? Do you think it was as good as the review said?
W: It was a good film, but not as good as the book. I think some of the story was missing in the film.
M: Yes, but you couldn’t possibly fit everything that happens in a 200-page novel into a 2-hour film. There simply isn’t time.
W: I know, but the director should at least have tried to follow the story.
M: Well, perhaps he thought he was improving the story.
W: Perhaps he did ,but I just don’t think a film director has the right.

M: Except in Chinese. I’m afraid. He says that he is a little weak in Chinese.
W: Is he? I’m sorry to hear that.
M: That’s why I’ve come to see you. I’m worried about his Chinese. He may fall behind the others when he comes back.
W: What do you mean?
M: We’ll go back to London for a holiday for two months. We haven’t been back for three years.
W:I see. I think that maybe his Chinese teacher can give him some homework to do during the holiday. He won’t fall too far behind the others when he comes back.

This is Bob Smith from Channel 13 News.
I’m at the scene of an unusual rescue that occurred earlier today involving a fire, a 3-month-old baby, and the
baby’s dog, Lucky. Uh, the fire broke out at the three-story building behind me. Uh, unfortunately, we’re not
able to get any closer because of the possibility of an explosion. Uh, however, witnesses say that they noticed fire
coming from the building earlier this morning.
It was believed that everyone had been moved to safety; however, one of the residents, Susan O’Connor, when she had returned and noticed the fire, was frightened, realizing that her 3-month -old baby was still inside. However, witnesses report seeing the dog, uh, the family dog, pulling the baby to safety by, uh, the baby’s clothes.
Fortunately, everyone is reported fine. The baby was taken to the hospital, uh, as well as the dog, but we’re happy to say that at this time, it looks like everyone, uh, will be fine. This is Channel 13 News.
