Sue is reading a book. Jack is reading the same book.

Jack: Where are you in the book?
Sue: I'm in Chapter 12, about halfway through.
Jack: You must be spending a lot of time reading. I'm only in Chapter 4.
Sue: Chapters 1-4 were difficult. It took me a long time to read them. After that it gets easier.
