1. A Brain Chip for English

+ Hello. Is this seat free?

- Sure. Have a seat. Where are you from?

+ Ah, you wouldn't know the place. It's not far from Alpha Centuri.

- Pardon? I don't understand.

+ I'm an off-world visitor from another planet.

- Ah, right. Where did you learn English?.

+ They gave me a brain chip implant. It cost a fair bit too.

- Really ! Where can I get a brain chip for English?

+ Well, there's a good implant hospital back on my planet.

- Hmm. How can I get there?

+ There's a Vogon cargo spaceship leaving tomorrow. Maybe you could stow away.
