Hi, I’m Sarah, welcome to The Daily English Show.

Today we have a guest from Argentina. His name is Nicolas and I talked to him on Mount Ruapehu where he was working and snowboarding for the season. He said he’s been snowboarding for about 4 years and he’s also worked in Colorado in the United States.

I asked Nicolas whereabouts in Argentina he was from.

Ah, I come from Argentina, yeah, from a city that’s in the middle of Argentina. The name is Córdoba. It’s a really, really nice city. I born there and I live all my live there, my parents, my family.

STICK NEWS

Kia ora in Stick News today a thief in Sweden stole a laptop and then returned the contents to its owner on a USB stick.

A university professor left his bag behind a door in his apartment building while he went to pick up his laundry.
When he came back, the bag was gone.
A computer, keys, calendar and other documents were inside the bag.
The professor called the police but when he went downstairs a short time later the bag was there again and the only thing missing was the computer.
Then, about a week later, the professor returned home to find a USB memory stick which had been stolen with the computer.
The thief had copied all the documents and personal files from the laptop to the memory stick.

And that was Stick News for Monday the 25th of October.
Kia ora.


This looks like a safe place.


gasp!


Were you mugged?
Not exactly …


Yay!




You stole your professor’s laptop?! What if he finds out and fails you?
hmm …
