Thortel's MUSE 500
By Caroline Bisset for TechTalk
Rating: 9/10

The MUSE 500 is the first smart phone [that I can say with confidence / is beyond the cutting edge of 3G communications technology].
Briefly, this is why:
Running on Thortel's 2008 operating system for pocket gadgets, combined with the revolutionary new wireless standard, it allows the user / to work on a number of documents / and have access to high-speed Internet at unprecedented speeds. To give you an idea of how high a jump this technology has taken, 188the previous wireless standard allowed transfer of 4 Mbps.
 
Functions
- The 1 GB of built-in flash memory allows the user to store lots of photos, word documents, and games.
- Dialing can be done with voice command technology / by simply speaking into the receiver, as well as by traditional and speed dialing.
- Camera has 2.5 mega pixel resolution.
- The lithium-ion battery allows for 5 hours of talk time / before needing to be recharged.

The dimensions
At 4.0 by 4.3 by 0.8 inches, it lives up to its promotion / as the thinnest smart phone on the market.

Cons
The only drawback to the smaller and lighter model / is that the keypad is a little small.

창의력을 잃어버린 이유
When we measure the creativity of young children,
virtually all of them will record as being 'highly creative'.
However, only a small percentage of adults register as being 'highly creative'.

빌, 늦어서 미안해요. 지하철에 가방을 두고 내려서 찾아 오느라고요.
Sorry I'm late, Bill. I left my bag on the subway and had to go claim it.
 
누가 돌려줘서 다행이네요.
Oh, that's great that someone turned it in.
 
그러게요. 운이 좋았죠.
Yes. Lucky me.

No Masks Allowed at ATMs
  

1) The automated teller machine (ATM) makes life very convenient. Many people use ATMs to get money from their bank accounts. They can do this without visiting a bank. With ATMs, it is easy to take money out any time they want.

2) However, there are also dangers when using ATMs. Sometimes, people get their ATM cards stolen. Then, thieves use the ATM cards to steal money. These thieves usually go to cash machines when nobody's around. They try to hide their faces. They wear hats, masks, and scarves. They do this because there are usually cameras at the ATMs.

3) Now, the government wants to make it harder for these thieves. The government wants to make a new law. If the law is passed, ATM users cannot hide their faces. If they are wearing hats, masks, or scarves, they will have to take them off. That way, the thieves' faces will get caught on ATM cameras.

4) Many bank customers support the new law. They said they will feel safer about their money.

5) Some people, however, do not agree with the government. They said that the new law is unnecessary and inconvenient. They added that the thieves cannot take money out without a PIN number. If you don't have a person's PIN number, you cannot use the person's account.
