Dialogue:
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 1! 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 2 you that’s exactly why Jennifer won’t answer her phone. Maybe she thinks that you love your smartphone more than her! ————————————————————————————————

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