英語角-圓桌會議 RoundTable0128 - Burberry福字圍巾，丑哭了
Animals are more than the cute cat and dog pictures we see online, or the pandas and monkeys we see in zoos. There're many things about animals, especially wildlife's situation that we don't know. For one, China is the world's largest market for illegal wild animal products such as tiger bones and elephant trunks. To give us a better understanding of the situation and the need for us to take actions protecting wild animals, we have Grace Ge, or Ge Rui, Asia representative of IFAW, or International Fund for Animal Welfare, in our studio.
Topic2 Height restriction bars for vehicles
At least two people have been killed and dozens injured after a coach carrying more than 50 passengers collided with a height restriction barrier in Tianjin municipality on Monday.
Without explanation, the 59-seater vehicle had driven into an ordinary bus lane, which has a height restriction of 2.8 meters.
It's not the first such accident involving height restriction bars in China.

Under the unified standards, will local snacks lose their special flavors? Is it necessary to standardize the production of local snacks?
Topic4 Burberry Adds Chinese Fu on Scar

Is it a failed attempt to appeal to the Chinese market?
