TASK 59 - PANDEMICS 

3000 Most Common Words

This is a clean and tidy office. A photo is displayed on the wall. It shows the Memory Stationery staff standing proud in front of a new warehouse. Everyone’s face is full of optimism.  But today the company atmosphere is tense. A4, the CEO of the company, is at his desk and on the phone; he is facing out the window at the sky. His facial expression is timid.

“I hear you, Mr. Scissors,” says A4. “But it’s impossible. I can’t take our prices down that low. You’re asking me to sacrifice our entire profit margin.”

A4 sits in silence as he listens to the response. A bead of sweat runs down the CEO’s face. The voice on the other end is frightening him.

“Sir, last month I discounted our products to the bottom line… Yes, but, please, sir, I’m just an
honest wholesaler. I promise I’m not trying to take advantage of you… Other retailers are happy to pay market rate—”

A4 suddenly pulls the phone away from his ear. The voice is furious and aggressive. It is blasting out the tiny speaker. When the harsh noise calms down, A4 puts the phone back to his ear.

“No, please, don’t cut me. Please, sir. You’re right, okay? You’re right. That was rude of me, I’m
sorry… I know. I’m a scrap. You’re right. I’m no better than a tissue. You’re right…”

A4 changes his tone. He isn’t pleading anymore. He sounds like he has given up.

“Mr. Scissors. I’ll look at our margins and call you back. There might be some way we can go down lower…”

A4 hangs up the phone. He leans back in his chair. His eyes are glazed over. He is deep in
contemplation. He imagines the brutal scenario of Mr. Scissors cutting him into a thousand pieces.

Throughout this entire time, A4 has been recording the conversation onto his paper body. This is his natural ability. A4’s unmistakable memory is the reason why he is the CEO.

A4 picks up the phone and dials a number. Life returns to his eyes.

“Backpack, get everyone together in the meeting room. I have an announcement.”

This is one of my best of best tv shows ever!!
What does it mean to live in Gyeonggi-do?
It's a pathetic story about pathetic people, 
but I can’t deny this is also my life story. 
You can feel it more touching than any other story.
It’s the drama that makes you look back on your life.
If you enjoyed "My Mister", I highly recommend it!

Die Deutschen und das Fahrrad
(A)  Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts war ein Fahrrad ein wertvolles Objekt: Es beförderte seinen Besitzer schnell und ohne große Anstrengung von A nach B und konnte dazu noch Gepäck  transportieren. Vor etwa 50 Jahren begann sich die Rolle des Fahrrads dann zu ändern: Es entwickelte sich mehr und mehr zum Sportgerät. Die meisten Käufer legten Wert darauf, dass es leicht war, viele GÄNGE hatte und gut aussehen sollte es natürlich auch. 
(B)  Seit der Jahrtausendwende gibt es wieder einen neuen Trend: das E-Bike. Das ist ein Fahrrad mit einem kleinen Elektromotor. Im Jahr 2021 wurden in Deutschland von insgesamt 4,7 Millionen Fahrrädern zwei Millionen E-Bikes verkauft, Tendenz steigend. 
(C)  Was macht das E-Bike so beliebt? Erstens ist es umweltfreundlich, zweitens kommt man in den Städten schneller zum Ziel als mit dem Auto und drittens ist die Parkplatzsuche kein Problem. Und abgesehen davon werden die Deutschen immer älter. Mit einem E-Bike sind Senioren mobil, sie haben Bewegung und sind in der frischen Luft. Trotzdem stellt das Fahren kein Risiko dar, auch dann nicht, wenn sie beispielsweise Herzprobleme haben. Die KEHRSEITE DER MEDAILLE ist, dass sich ältere Menschen oft überschätzen und die Unfallrate mit dem E-Bike hoch ist. Elektro-Fahrräder sind selbstverständlich nicht billig, aber ihr Siegeszug ist nicht mehr aufzuhalten.
