Sandra: Tommy, what are you reading?
Tommy: Im reading about the Mayan Civilizations. They are very interesting. Do you
know about them?
Sandra: They are the guys who predicted the world will end this year, arent they?
Tommy: Yes, thats why they are popular these days. But they made so many other
contributions. They were the only civilization in America with very developed
concepts, such as agriculture, astronomy, medicine, a calendar, and even
math. They were the ones who invented the concept of zero!
Sandra: Wow, I didnt know that. How do you think they invented zero?
Tommy: Maybe they came up with that idea when trading their things. They must
have needed a symbol to represent nothing.

AdvancedSandra: Wow, this book about Atlantis is hard to put down.
Tommy: Atlantis? Ive never heard of it. What is it about?
Sandra: Atlantis is a perfect city on an island where a perfect society used to live.Its also called Utopia. No crime, no problems, no pollution, not anything
wrong. And it was full of uncanny richness in all aspects, such as arts,
math, and science. Aristotle described it in one of his writings, but
archaeologists have never found evidence of its existence. Some people
say the whole island might have sunk.
Tommy: Thats interesting. And what do you think happened to the city?
Sandra: I dont know. People in there may have emigrated to other places, and
the island might have been destroyed by a tsunami. Or maybe they were
so advanced that they must have found a way to travel to other planets.
Tommy: Yeah, right!

BeginnerTommy: Did you (know / knew)that Mayans had disappeared when the Spaniards
arrived and discovered their magnificent pyramids?
Sandra: Really? Why? What (had happened / happened)to them?
Tommy: Well, its still a mystery. Some people think they (may have / may)hidden and
then travelled to other places, but they have not found similar pyramids
anywhere else. Some scientists think they (might have / must have)caught an
epidemic and then all of them died; and yet the Spaniards didnt find dead
bodies.
Sandra: Thats weird! They just couldnt (disappeared / disappear) without leaving
any trace. Oh, I got it! The Mayans(must have / should have) been abducted
by some aliens, in the same way they did with the people in Atlantis.
Tommy: Aliens? Now, thats a really weird speculation!
