Dialogue
A: Is your father coming to the gathering this Saturday?
B: No. Neither is my mother.
A: That's too bad. My brother was looking forward to seeing them.
B: Well, they're both a little under the weather.
A: Oh, sorry to hear that. Can I send something or other to cheer them up?
B: Please don't bother. They'll be fine.

Oral Reading
Even though my father is a weatherman, he can't predict with absolute certainty
whether it will rain or not. Neither can the other people who work with him. They
say there's only a thirty per cent chance of rain, and the next thing you know, it's
pouring. They predict snow, and there's nothing for another five days. Then, there's a
blizzard. So rather than trust my father's weather forecasts, I use a more reasonable
approach. I ask my mother.

Oral Reading
If you think you're safe from thievery, think again. Most thefts occur within
three miles of the victim's home. People often venture into the streets without
giving their valuables a second thought. They leave things out in the open, where
thieves can easily spot them. Items worth thousands of dollars can be stolen in a
tenth of a second. So be thoughtful. Only you can thwart this terrible crime.
Watch your things carefully. Thieves do.
