神器在手 从此自拍不求人

Dialogue:
XG:What’s that in your hand, Jing Jing?
JJ:It’s a selfie stick. Isn’t it cool? Here, let’s take a picture together. We don’t even need anyone else to hold the camera for us. The selfie stick will do all the work. Say cheese!
XG:Wow, cool. So that’s what those things are. I’ve seen them all over the place but I never knew what they were until now.
JJ:Yeah, they’re all the rage right now. A lot of celebrities have been known to use them. Don’t you want one now?
XG:No, that’s alright. —————————————————— I see a lot of self-absorbedpeople who take selfies on the subway and on the street. And what’s worse, people put their selfies on WeChat and Weibo constantly. I’m getting sick of it!
JJ:Taking selfies aren’t just for people who are in love with themselves. A lot of tourists use selfie sticks because they’re so convenient. —————————————————
XG:Yeah, I guess you have a point. Hey, they seem kinda dangerous though. They are so long.
JJ:They have been banned in a lot of places on the grounds of safety and inconvenience to others. For example, the Australian music festival Soundwave banned selfie sticks. They’ve also been banned in some museums and art galleries because of concerns about possible damage to art works as well as disruption to other visitors.
XG:Sounds like you should be careful with your selfie stick.
JJ:Come on, let’s take one more picture. Cheese!
