Man: That’ll be NT$ 5000. Would you like to have this printer delivered? It’ll be free of charge because your purchase is more than NT$1000.

Woman: Wow, that’s great. Could you deliver it by next Monday? I need to use it as soon as possible.

Man: No problem. Could you fill out this form, please?

Man: Hi, I’d like to make an appointment for a dental exam. The last time I had a checkup was about half a year ago.

Woman: We’re fully booked this week. How about next Friday afternoon?

Man: OK, Next Friday suits me fine. Can I have the appointment at 3 o’clock?

Woman: Sure, 3 o’clock is fine.

Man: Sandy, did you find a new apartment?

Woman: Not yet, Ronald. I want to move into a place with good access to public transportation. The apartment I’m living in now is too far from the office.

Woman: Hi, welcome to Wendy’s Kitchen. Is this your first time here?

Man: Yes, it is. Do you have a daily special here?

Woman: Of course, we do. Today’s specials are pasta with mussels, a cream of mushroom soup, and a chicken warm salad. How does it sound?

Man: They all sound great. But first, could I have a soft drink first while I decide what to eat?

Woman: I’ve been trying to look for Jason all morning. I know he’s not in his office because he’s not answering the phone, and he hasn’t returned any of my e-mails either.

Man: He is in trouble with the manager because he’s lost an important client’s file. I think the manager is talking to him now.

Woman: Good afternoon, this is the front desk. How may I help you?

Man: Yes, this is Allen Lee in room 301. My shower’s not working. I called this morning, but no one’s been in to fix it.

Woman: Let me apologize, Mr. Lee. I’ll call maintenance and check for you right away.

Woman: How would you like your hair done? Do you want to keep your style or go for a different look?

Man: I’d like to try a new look. I think I need a perm. Also, can you cut the sides short?

Woman: No problem.

Man: Do these shoes come in different sizes?

Woman: Let me see. We only have sizes 10 to 12 right now, but we’ll have a full stock by Wednesday. What size are you looking for?

Man: I need a size 9, but I guess I could wear a 10 as well. Sometimes the sizes aren’t exactly the same.

Woman: OK, let me get you a pair of size 10s and you can try them on to see if they fit.

Woman: Excuse me. Does a Sarah Wang work here? I have a couple of boxes for her.

Man: You just missed her. She’s left to attend a meeting, and it’ll take about one hour.

Woman: Would it be possible for you to sign for the delivery? If not, I could come back in two hours.

Man: I think I can sign for it.

       March 11, 2020. That’s a day for the history books. On that date, the World Health Organization (WHO) gave the spread of the coronavirus a new title — pandemic. So, we have now been living in a pandemic for two years.
       A lot changed after March 11, 2020. People began wearing masks and went into lockdown. They went to work — and school — online. We all worked together (by staying apart) to stay safe. Now in its third year, the COVID-19 pandemic is still affecting millions of people. Yet life is slowly returning to normal.
       By March 2022, about 500 million people have tested positive for COVID-19. More than 6 million people have died. Those include more than 1 million in Asia and more than 900,000 in the United States. Millions more got sick from the virus, many of whom are still dealing with the long-term effects of the illness.
       The virus itself has changed over the past two years as well. It has mutated several times into different variants. Those include delta and omicron, both of which are very contagious. That caused new waves of COVID-19 — and resulted in the spread of the disease to more places. By now, it has reached nearly every corner of the globe. Even the isolated islands in Tonga, Vanuatu, and Micronesia have had some cases.
       The COVID-19 vaccine helped to protect a lot of people. It kept patients from getting very sick (or dying). A 90-year-old woman in Britain got the first approved shot on December 8, 2020. By now, most Americans have gotten the vaccine. However, poorer areas of the world do not have as much access. More than 1 billion people in Africa (more than 90% of the population) still have not had any shots of the vaccine.
       The numbers of COVID-19 cases have dropped in the United States. As a result, people do not have to wear masks anymore in most areas of the country. This month, thousands of schools removed their mask mandate. However, travelers on planes, trains, or public buses will still have to wear masks until at least April 18.
       However, the pandemic is far from over. More than 1 million people worldwide are testing positive for COVID-19 each day. And some areas are seeing a record number of cases. Those include the city of Hong Kong, China, which is currently facing its worst outbreak ever. And, of course, we will feel the effects of the pandemic for many years. For example, recent studies show that closed schools caused millions of young students to fall behind in their reading skills.
       What will the third year of the pandemic look like? No one can be sure. There will likely be new treatments for COVID-19 (including pills). Some experts believe that the pandemic will officially end in 2022. But that doesn’t mean the virus will go away. Instead, it will likely become endemic in most areas. That means the disease will continue to spread at different times. And we will learn to live with this virus as part of our world.

       Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have an adverse effect on health, leading to reduced life expectancy and/or increased health problems. Body mass index (BMI), a measurement which compares weight and height, defines people as overweight (pre-obese) when their BMI is between 25 kg/m2 and 30 kg/m2, and obese when it is greater than 30 kg/m2.

       Obesity increases the likelihood of various diseases, particularly heart disease, type 2 diabetes, breathing difficulties during sleep, certain types of cancer, and osteoarthritis. Obesity is most commonly caused by a combination of excessive dietary calories, lack of physical activity, and genetic susceptibility, although a few cases are caused primarily by genes, blood disorders, medications or illness. Evidence to support the view that some obese people eat little yet gain weight due to a slow metabolism is limited; on average obese people have a greater energy expenditure than their thin counterparts due to the energy required to maintain an increased body mass.

       The primary treatment for obesity is dieting and physical exercise. Sometimes, anti-obesity drugs may be taken to reduce appetite or inhibit fat absorption. In severe cases, surgery is performed or a balloon is placed to reduce the stomach size/or bowel length, leading to people eating less.

       Obesity is a leading preventable cause of death worldwide, with increasing prevalence in adults and children, and authorities view it as one of the most serious public health problems of the 21st century. Obesity is hated in much of the modern world (particularly in the Western world), though it was widely perceived as a symbol of wealth and fertility at other times in history, and still is in some parts of the world.
