Getting a new computer
A: Mr. Emory? I think it’s time to get a new computer.
B: Why, Christine? I think the one we have is fine.
A: For the amount of work we do on the computer these days, the one we’re using is just too weak. We really need a higher model.
B: Well, I’ll think about it. I don’t know whether accounting is going to agree to such a big purchase.

买新电脑

Chinese News -Chinese warships visit Kuwait to boost military ties- Chinese Mandarin

KUWAIT CITY, Nov. 27 (Xinhua) — Two warships from China on Sunday docked at Kuwait’s Shuwaikh port to start a five-day official visit to the Gulf Arab emirate.

The tour by the destroyer “Wuhan” and the frigate “Yulin” marked the first visit by Chinese naval vessels to Kuwait since the two countries established diplomatic ties 40 years ago.

“This visit marks a historic occasion and Kuwaiti navy looks forward to future cooperation to improve the relationship and friendship between our two navies,” said Colonel Khaled Ahmad Abdallah from Kuwait’s navy.

The flotilla was part of the ninth Chinese naval convoy to conclude its escort mission in the Gulf of Aden and waters off Somalia.

Commander of the flotilla Guan Jianguo hopes the visit would enhance mutual cooperation between the two navies, which in turn would contribute to boosting bilateral relations.

The flotilla would visit Oman after its stay in Kuwait.
