XG:Hey, Jing Jing. I could really use some advice.

JJ:Okay, I’m all ears. What’s up?

XG:Well, Jennifer won’t pick up the phone. I’ve tried calling her the past few days, but she won’t answer it. I think she’s mad. What should I do?

JJ:Well, Xiao Gao. Sometimes people just need some time alone. I recommend that you—Hey! Xiao Gao! What are you doing?-----------------------------------------------

XG:Sorry, what were you saying? I was sending a text message. Jeez, just hold on okay?

JJ:Oh the audacity! Did you forget?! -------------------------------------. What gives?

XG:I don’t know. Geez. Sorry for looking at my smartphone. Is it a crime or something?

JJ:You are more attached to that thing than Jennifer! I bet you that’s exactly why Jennifer won’t answer her phone. Maybe she thinks that you love your smartphone more than her! ————————————————————————————————

XG:Well, I talk to you on WeChat don’t I? What’s wrong with chatting online? Isn’t it the same?

JJ:Um, no! -------------------------------------------------. That’s like comparing apples and oranges. It’s definitely not the same, not even close!

XG:Hey, I really care about my smartphone. I bought it a nice cover, see?

JJ:Oh, seriously? You care about your smartphone? ——————————————————————————————I think you need help!

XG:Wait, wait. Okay, fine. Starting from now. Everytime we hang out, I won’t mess with my phone. I promise.

JJ:Okay, that’s a deal. Now, let me finish telling you what I think you should do with Jennifer.

XG:Okay, just give me one second. Let me send one last text message…
