Oooh! So fast!
Michael:
Sorry to hear your fridge is broken.
Send us a picture of the receipt as a proof of purchase. What is, proof of purchase?

Umm, the receipt shows them that you bought this fridge at their shop. Also, I sent the picture of the receipt to the laptop.

Warm water is good for your tummy. They taught us at school.
Grandma:
You’re so clever Connie.
The Changs sit eat and chat cheerfully.
