T: Michelle, have you heard the latest pandemic these days? What researchers fear is that a new strain of the virus similar to SARS will develop and cause another disaster.
M: Yeah, my sister works for a hospital. She told me to stay at home and never go out. But she has to stay at the emergency department to face dangers and challenges everyday.
T: She's great! Worthy of our respect!
M: I'm really proud of her, but also terrified. She hasn’t had a good sleep since the virus has broken out.
T: So is there anything we can do to help them?
M: Just avoid going out. And if you have to, wear a mask. That's the best way to protect all of us.
