Dialogue:

M: You must be pretty excited about your trip to Europe, Dorothy. When are you leaving?

W: In just two weeks, and I am excited. I've been looking forward to this training program for a long time. But there are still a few things I need to do before I go.

M: Like what?

W: Like renewing my passport and figuring out what to do with my apartment while I'm gone.

M: You are not going to give it up, are you?

W: No way! I'll never find another apartment like it around here. But I don't like the idea of paying three months for an empty apartment, either. So, I'm looking for someone to take it while I'm away.

M: Um, let me think. Oh, I know just a person. An old colleague of mine, Jim Thomas. He is coming here to do some research this summer, from June to August.

W: Well, that's exactly when I'll be away!

M: Tell you what: I'll be calling Jim late this week anyway, so I'll mention it to him.

W: Well, thanks, Bill.
