W: Hi, Bill. How is your oral presentation coming along?
M: What oral presentation? I don’t have to give mine until the end of the next week.
W: You mean you haven’t even started working on it yet?
M: No. I need the pressure of a deadline to get inspired.
W: I’m just the opposite. I can’t concentrate unless I know I have plenty of time. Besides I have a big physics test next week so I want to get my presentation out of the way.
M: What’s your presentation on?
W: William Carlos Williams.
M: Wasn’t he a poet? I thought we were supposed to focus on a short story.
W: He wrote short stories, do you know?
M: Really? I never knew that I guess I’ll learn more on Tuesday. Is that when you are supposed to talk?
W: Uh-huh. But I was going to offer you sneak preview. I’m looking for someone to tell me whether I’m talking too fast and whether you can follow what I’m saying.
M: I guess I could do that. When were you thinking of?
W: Will tonight be all right? I’ll be around after dinner.
M: That sounds good. I’ll stop by your room. It’s probably quieter there than in my hall.
