W: I won the first prize in the National Writing Contest and I got this camera as an award.

W: Did you watch the 7 o’clock program on channel 2 yesterday evening? I was about to watch it when someone came to see me.
M: Yeah! It reported some major breakthrough in cancer research. People over 40 would find the program worth watching.
