M: Jane, do you often look through the website
W: Sure. No one can stay away from the Internet today, whether on the computer or on the cell phone. I’d like to do some reading when I’m looking through the website.
M: Do you often surf the Internet on your cell phone
W: I’m not a 24 hour reader. My cell phone is mainly for calls and messages. I hardly surf the Internet on my cell phone.
M: How long are you usually on the computer
W: Two hours a day except Mondays.
M: So you just do reading on the computer when you log on, do you
W: Well, as a matter of fact, news takes the most time, and looking up information comes next. But I don’t play games.
M: It’s more convenient for you to read on the phone. That’s my suggestion.
W: OK, I’ll try.
M: Thanks for talking with me, Jane.
W: It’s my pleasure, too.
