　　Tony: The Cool Kids? Do you like them?

　　Betty: Oh, yeah. They're my favorite band. I like music that I can dance to.

　　Tony: You're kidding. I think they're awful. I prefer music that has great lyrics.., music that I can sing along with.

　　Betty: I like songs I can sing along with too. So what's your favorite band?

　　Tony: The Lions. Their words are interesting and...

Boy: Look, Carmen. These T-shirts are great! Look at this one.

　　Girl: What a great T-shirt, Xu Fei really love Dan Dervish. I like musicians who play different kinds of music.

　　Boy: Hmmm... he's okay　 ....

Yellow River Fishermen

　　This is Hung Tao's latest movie. I like Hung Tao. He's made some great movies over the years. Unfortunately, this is his worst movie. If you're looking for entertainment, stay at home and watch TV. Yellow River Fisherman is too long, and it's really boring. It does have a few good features, though. I thought the fisherman's wife was really funny.

Amy Kim, Photography

　　Be sure to see this exhibition at the Lido Gallery. Amy Kim is one of the best known Chinese photographers in the world today, and some of her best loved photos are on display in this exhibition. She really has something for everyone. There are many great photos of people and of the countryside. The few city photographs are less successful. I see the same things every day and they don't interest me as much. But this is a great show from a world class photographer. Whatever you do, don't miss this exhibition.

Wild and Windy

　　Over the years, we've seen musical groups with pretty strange names come and go. Few have stranger names than this band. As the name suggests, the band has lots of energy. And they play the kind of music that I love to hear. Every song is really loud and often you can't understand the words, but this is okay because the lyrics aren't very good. However, these are musicians who make us happy-even on a Monday morning!
