W: Look at that. It's so dangerous. My mum would never allow me to do that. M: It's an extreme sports show. What else can they do to attract more visitors? W: You are right. By the way, how did they get so much snow in here? M: Don't you know?

W: Hey, not everyone is as lucky as you to have a father who is a scientist. M: Sorry. Well, they have a very advanced snowmaking machine. W: Do you think the snowmaking can cause pollution?

M: It's possible. But the boss here says they are doing whatever they can to prevent pollution. W: That's good. Text 9

M: You look a bit worried today. Is there anything wrong?

W: Well, yes, there is something wrong, actually. Perhaps you can give me some advice. M: Of course, if I can.

W: Well, last night when I returned from the theatre, I found that I'd lost my bag. M: Oh, dear! That's terrible! What was in your bag?

W: Well, some money, of course, my visa, all my bank cards and some photos. M: Well, if I were you, I'd go to the police station straight away and report it.

W: Yes, I've already done that, and they said they'd look for my bag. But we're leaving soon and I need my visa badly.

M: Oh dear! What a pity! Are you sure you lost it in the theatre? W: Yes, quite sure.

M: I think you should put an advertisement in the China Daily, saying when and where you lost it.

W: But that takes too long.

M: What a minute! My uncle lives very close to the theatre. I'll telephone him and ask him to go there to inquire about it. You'd better have breakfast now and I'll meet you later.

W: Oh, thank you. I hope he can find it. Text 10

Long ago, rain boots usually came in black or dull green. Farmers wore them. But now shops are selling them in every color and with beautiful decorations. That’s because the rain boot has been fashionable since around 2004.

But the rain boot has been in fashion forward before. It began in 1817 when the Duke of Wellington started wearing a narrower, simpler boot. Being a famous war hero, men were quick to copy his style and the boot soon became a fashion. It went out of fashion at the end of the 19th century, but farmers, workers, dog walkers carried on wearing them.

So why have they become fashionable again? It’s part of the general trend for big boots: biker boots and cowboy boots are popular. But surely it’s a class thing too. The British upper classes like going outdoors—often seen with waterproof coats, dogs and rain boots.

One shoe company has reported sales of the boots up 673% this year—they’re selling 15 pairs of boots a minute. However, now everyone has them. They’re not special any more and sales will definitely fall.
