A: Wow.

B: Yeah, you can read hundreds of newspapers from around the world.

A: That's amazing.

B: That's just the start. Then I checked my e-mail. There was a message from my dad in Chicago, one from my sister in San Francisco, and a message from my brother in Hong Kong. My dad's message was to tell me not to forget my mom's birthday. So then I sent her an electronic birthday card.

A: An electronic birthday card？

A: Fantastic.

B: I planned to visit my sister in San Francisco during my vacation, so I checked an airline reserve service, picked a flight and booked it, and sent information to my sister.

A: Oh, my gosh. And how about your brother's message？
