M: Hello, Julia. What are you reading about in the newspaper?

W: Hello! I was exhausted from studying, so I decided to read the newspaper to relax. Unfortunately, the news is so depressing. There has been another murder in the city center. I'm scared stiff about going to the city center at night.

M: There must have been some good news in the newspaper.

W: Well, there was one good piece of news. You remember the local girl who was dying of a rare blood disease?

M: Yes. Her parents were raising money to have her treated in the United States.

W: Well, they've got the money and she's going tomorrow for treatment.

M: I'm so happy for the family!
