Have you seen the prototype robot stored in the engineering department?

Really? I think it is good that the company is trying to venture into such.

I think so, too. I really think the robot will be able to increase efficiency here in the plant.

However, they should also be cautious as to the operation and
testing of that prototype as we are still confined with the data
available from other scientific institutes.

I agree. I heard that the team is really working hard in conducting the tests as they want its operation to run smoothly.

If that is the goal, no one should cut corners.

The robot will be really advantageous to the company and us employees as long as it will operate as planned by the management.

I agree with what you just said. Everyone in the team should really
be careful in doing their parts in order to avoid any major problems
with the robot.

Yes. If that happens, they will have to go back to the drawing board and it may even defeat the purpose which the robot is trying to achieve.

Have you been to any museum, Emma?

Yes, Ron. We visited a museum for our field trip last month.

That’s nice! What kind of museum was it?

It was the museum of fine arts. It has a plethora of paintings!

I love paintings! What I like the most about them is that people can have different interpretations of what the painting means.

Yes! In the museum that we visited, there was a huge painting
on the wall that really amazed us.

That’s interesting. I wonder how museums retain so many paintings and some of them are really huge.

Aside from the huge ones, I also enjoyed the abstract paintings,
but some of my friends found them strange.

While abstract paintings may not be easily understood, we should not judge the book by its cover.

I agree. Abstract paintings have their message and meaning
that we might not immediately understand.

For sure, painters also exerted so much effort in creating those artworks.

Of course! I also heard that some abstract paintings cost a fortune at auctions!

Yes, especially those rare ones.

Hey, Emma. Do you have a moment? Something is bothering me, and it’s keeping me awake at night.

What is it, Ron? I’m all ears.

I have a presentation in a few weeks. But, I haven’t finalized anything. I keep going back to where I started. It feels like I’ve run out of good ideas.

Oh, I see. You must be having a tough time. Well, I think that you
shouldn’t force yourself. If you think about it with an open mind, I’m sure
fresh ideas will come to you naturally.

You’re right. But I have limited time, Emma. I need to think fast and even work on it until late so that I can finish it as quickly as possible.

Oh, no. Depriving yourself of a good night sleep will only add fuel to the
fire. Your brain needs to refresh, and that’s how you get new ideas.

I don’t know what to do now. I’m just so frustrated right now.

Just look on the bright side, Ron. It’ll turn out just fine. You don’t stress
yourself so much about it.

But this presentation has a lot of impact on my grades. Just thinking about it stresses me already.

I agree up to a point, but the purpose of that presentation is for us to
learn new skills, right? Take it easy, and enjoy the learning process!

Good morning, Emma! Are you here to jog?

Oh, Hi, Ron! Yes, I jog here every morning. Nice to see you here.

Yeah. It’s been a while since I last went out for a jog. It’s early in the morning, yet you are already full of energy. How do you do that?

Well, jogging in the morning has become a habit for me. Also, it’s no
secret that a healthy diet gives us more energy. By the way, it’s good
that you’re back on track. Keep it up!

Thanks, Emma. Well, I guess I have to add jogging to my daily to-do list so that it won’t slip my mind.

Way to go! I couldn’t be happier that both of us are working toward a
healthy lifestyle.

I guess pigging out on pizza is now a thing of the past.

You’re right. Low carbohydrates and plant-based food items are a better
option if we want to stay fit and avoid any illnesses.

And we should drink plenty of water too.
