M: Hi, Janet. How’s your oral presentation coming along?
W: What oral presentation are you talking about? I can’t give mine until next week.
M: You haven’t started working on it yet, have you?
W: No, I have so many other things to do. I need to finish summarizing 30 articles for Dr. Thompson. See, I’ve been working for him as a research assistant. I know what the pressure of a deadline feels like.
M: I have more time than you do. But I can’t concentrate unless I know I have plenty of time. I wanted to get my presentation out of the way because I have a big biology test next week.
W: What’s your presentation on?
M: Sinclair Lewis.
W: Isn’t he a writer? I thought we were supposed to focus only on poets.
M: No, yon can work on novelists too.
W: Are you positive? I didn’t know that.
M: Anyway, I like most of Lewis’ novels but especially Main Street which he wrote in 1920. It’s a satirical portrait of a conservative small town in the Midwest.
W: Are you going to give yours on Wednesday?
M: Yes, I am. You wouldn’t mind listening to my talk and giving me some feedback, would you? Also, I’d appreciate it if you would time my speech.
W: No problem. Where shall we get together?
M: That sounds good.I’ll see you at the hall. It’ll be quieter than our dormitory.
