Hi, Gilbert. How was your weekend?
It was good. Ho, I bumped into Ryan in the shopping mall on Sunday.
Really? What a coincidence! So, how’s he doing? It’s been almost a year since he left us.
Yes. He said business is a lot tougher than he expected.
Oh, he started his own company, right?
That’s right. He’s selling men’s cosmetics, but sales are slow.
Well, if he wants to come back to our company, he’ll be very welcome.
We first met at the scramble crossing in Shibuya.
The meeting starts at one o’clock tomorrow.
Please sign your name here.
Oh, no! I left my bag on the train.
I’m sure there’s a convenience store somewhere.
Smartphone addiction has developed into a social problem.
We need to bring up the issue of price changes at the next meeting.
Food security is a pressing issue in many countries.
Nobody wants to talk about that touchy issue.
Problems in international relations can lead to war.
The two nations finally signed a peace agreement.
The conflict might turn into an all-out war.
This trade conflict will need a multilateral solution.
Professor Peacock, what happened to your office?
Apparently, there was a beak-in over the weekend.
Look at all the books on the floor.
I know. It’s mess.
Is anything missing?
Just a few things. Luckily the things stolen aren’t so valuable.
I wonder what the robbers were looking for.
There are some ancient artifacts that could fetch a good price on the illegal market.
Well, it’s good that nobody was hurt.
Yes.
