W: Eric, how long will you be in China?

M: I don’t know. Well, my contract here is for one year, and I don’t know what I should do after that. Maybe going around for a while.

W: Well, have you ever thought about learning some Chinese?

M: Actually, I am learning that now. But it’s too hard for me. The four tones really drive me mad.

W: Don’t worry. All things are difficult before they are easy.

M: You hit the nail right on the head.

W: Well, are you interested in the language-exchange program?

M: What is it?

W. I teach you Chinese, and in exchange you teach me English.

M: Awesome. I’ve been giving this a lot of thought. When can we do this?

W: How about this Sunday?

M: OK. Cool.

W: Good. I’ll give you a call tonight and let you know the details.

M: No problem.

W: Bye.
