STEPHANIE: Hi, Luke! How are you? Can you please stop and pick up extra paper for the computer printer?

LUKE: What did you say? Can you repeat that, please? Did you say to pick up ink for the printer? Sorry, the phone is cutting out.

STEPHANIE: Can you hear me now? No, I need more computer paper. Listen, I’ll text you exactly what I need. Thanks, Luke. Talk to you later.

Can You Say That Again

因此，善于用兵打仗的人，不依靠战场厮杀而让敌人的军队降服，不依靠强攻来夺取敌人的城池，能消灭敌国而不必进行旷日持久的征战。他们用“全胜”的策略，既能不使国力、兵力受挫，又能获得全面胜利。这正是以谋略克敌制胜的法则。
 所以，在实际作战中的战术方法是：我方的兵力十倍于敌军时，就实施围歼；我方的兵力五倍于敌军时，便发起猛攻；我方的兵力两倍于敌军时，就要设法将敌军分散，各个击破；敌我双方的兵力相当时，可以与敌军对抗；我方兵力比敌军少时，就要设法摆脱敌军；我方的实力不如敌军时，就要尽量避免与其交战。因为，弱小的一方如果死拼固守，就必然会被实力强大的对方所击败制服。

Is organic food better for you?

La leyenda de la Isla de las Muñecas está situada en los canales de Xochimilco, se cuentan historias de muñecas poseídas que cuelgan de los árboles.
Pon atención al sonido de la X en el nombre de Xochimilco. En este caso suena como "sh" por ser una palabra proveniente de las lenguas precolombinas, es decir conservaron su pronunciación, a diferencia de "México" que suena como "j" o del uso más general que es el sonido de "ks" como "existe".
Puedes encontrar estas tres palabras en la primera frase de la leyenda. Trata de encontrar las demás.

We all want our friends and relatives to be happy, but who is responsible for their care?
Today we read a story about a 95 year old woman in the UK.

Transcript: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h_1HX3Bsi1CMHmMKQoPT0G36CwgMdNBS0uekz6NK7EE/edit?usp=drivesdk


Extract: 
We're going to go through a new story today and it begins with anger as a 95 year old (is)  told to take out her bins. Now, I just want to give you some background to this first of all. So, here in the UK, we have to put our bins on the streets for them to be collected and emptied.
So we have large bins, which are referred to as wheelie bins, And we must put those on the street. Depending on your relationship with your neighbours if you live in an apartment block, someone may do this for you. But the council employees, the people who come to empty the bins, will not come upon your property to collect them. They used to. But they don't any more. Depending on the council and depending on their funding, You may be able to request them to help you if you're old or infirm. As money is tight  these days for everyone, more and more councils are refusing to do this. A council is simply a local area government.
 Now we're going to read through a story here about what's happened to a 95 year old. Now, bearing in mind that here in the UK, we don't generally mix with our neighbours unless we know them very well or are related to them.
As I’ve often told you, we view  the Government almost like a mother or father, we expect them to do the things, which perhaps in your country is done by a community.
