W:Hey,Sam.Have you been to some interesting places during the winter holiday?

M:Oh,yeah.I went to a small village east of the Yellow Mountain and spent a few days there.

W:Was it good?

M:Yeah,generally.The weather was good.The views were amazing.I just wish my dad had found us a better hotel.The room I stayed in was smelly.How was your holiday anyway?

W:Don’t even mention it.I had been doing part-time work to save money for my planned trip to Harbin,but you know how I did in the last semester’s final exams.My parents just forced me to stay in and forbade me to go anywhere for the whole holiday.

M:Poor you.Oh,Professor Lee is coming.We’d better be quiet.

W:Not again!I’ve been killed at least twenty times for the last hour.Come and help me,Gary.I think this level needs two players to get through.

M:Wait a minute,Mary.I’m browsing some websites to get myself a new TV.

W:But your old one still works fine.

M:Well,yeah,but I’ve already spent half a decade with it and I’m getting bored.In fact,I’ve wanted to do it since two years ago.

W:Oh,Gary,do you know how many electrical goods are thrown away each year in the UK?Over two million pounds worth!What a waste!I’m just so not into this “throwaway culture”.

M:But this culture doesn’t necessarily have to be a bad thing — at least it’s good for the country’s economic growth.

W:Not for its environment.

M:Looking for some furniture for your new home,madam?

W:Oh,no.My brother always complains about his old,broken bookshelf.He’ll have his birthday soon and I’m thinking to get him a new one.

M:I see.What do you think of this one?It’s made of high-quality American pinewood,and lucky for you,it’s on sale this week—15% off.

W:It looks nice to me,but I just don’t think red is my brother’s cup of tea.

M:Then how about this one?It’s made of the same material,but with the brown coating,it looks more elegant,more appealing to boys’ taste.Ask your brother’s opinion if you don’t believe me.

W:Well,I don’t know.I…

M:If you make the payment now,I can give you a 10% discount.

W:I think I’ll just look around and see some other shops in this mall first.Thanks.

M:My pleasure.

W:Located in Siem Reap,Cambodia,Angkor Archaeological Park is one of Asia’s most famous tourist attractions.Recently,under the pressure of some animal activist groups,the management authority for the park took a major stand for animals by announcing that it would ban elephant rides in early 2020.Now,the process has already begun.On November 15th,2019,two of the fourteen elephants currently at the park have been relocated to the nearby community forest.As planned,the remaining elephants will be relocated to the same forest by early next year.In 2016,an elephant named Sambo died at Angkor,drawing worldwide attention.Her death was blamed on exhaustion from ferrying so many human beings around.A latest report shows 1.8 million foreign tourists bought passes to the temple complex of Angkor Wat from January to September in 2019—a 13.7% decline over the same nine-month period in 2018.While there’s no predicting whether the ban on Angkor elephant rides will impact visitor numbers,it comes at a time when more and more travelers and tourism organizations around the world have moved to remove animal-related attractions.
