Sara: Isabela worries about war, but we do not have to have completely connection except for trading or some things.

Sophie: Sara said she could not buy foreign photos, but we have Internet system, so you can search Internet, right?
Sara: People do not often search the Internet, and I want to make a photo collection.
Sophie: If you associate with publish company, you can publish books, so you do not have to have a connection with whole country, just company.

My comment
 I thought concreteness was not enough in their discussion. For example, I did not know the "other countries" exactly. If they explain examples well, their discussion can be understood easily.
