換手機？找好時機！Should I get a new smartphone?
什麼時候應該換手機?how do you know when to change phones?
納森：我需要一支有最新作業系統的手機，這樣才能維持我的高生產率。我考慮買的新手機還有非常好用的新應用程式。
珍妮：喔，好吧… 如果工作需要的話。
納森：妳呢?妳的手機肯定不像以前那麼好用了。
珍妮：你指的是什麼?
納森：嗯，妳的手機電池不是比以前還快沒電?手機的儲存空間不是快沒了?
珍妮：喔，我的手機的確比以前更快沒電。可是，換新手機得重新學好多東西；我花了很長的時間才習慣現在這支手機。
納森：妳還是應該考慮一下。
珍妮：我不用手機工作；主要都只用來傳簡訊或打電話，還有拍照和玩遊戲。
納森：妳也會在網路上查找資訊，不是嗎?
珍妮：嗯，是啊。不過，新的智慧型手機很貴耶。
納森：這樣想好了：一支新的智慧型手機提供更好的保護。
珍妮：意思是?
納森：從手機竊取他人資料的事件頻傳；新手機可以讓資料更加安全，因為有更好的安全防護。
珍妮：讓我想一想。
