Hi, Emily!
Hi, Jane!
What's the news?
I bought a new phone. It's amazing. It's got a very good media player and access to Internet.
Wow, that's cool. But even though we use our phones every day, I prefer computers.
Why?
However good a phone's media player is, the computer's one is always better. And it's got a huge screen.
But you can't always take it with you. For example, if you need to go on a vacation, you can't take a huge computer with you, but you always take a phone. And plus, it's got a camera, which also is always with you! Isn't it awesome?
Well, yes. But in case you need to print something or use a program to do something, a computer is the way to.
You're right, too. I guess both a computer and a phone have got their goods.

1 The saiga antelope has long, thin legs and a big, long nose which hangs over its mouth. It's the same size as a sheep. It has light brown fur in summer, then thick and white in winter.
2 They live in groups (herds) of 30 to 40 animals.
3 In 1990s there were up over a million saiga antelopes, but today they are thought to be around 50 000.
4 The saiga has been hunted for its meat and horns. It has also lost its habitat.
5 Many organisations are working hard to protect the saiga, and to stop the sale of its horns for Chinese medicine.
