M: Hello, you must be Lisa? Please come in, I am Harry Smith from Harvard.
W: Hi, Dr. Smith, I am Lisa. Dr. Watts recommended me to come here.
M: It is a pleasure to be able to finally meet you! Dr. Watts has been telling me so many good things about you.
W: That’s very flattering. But I am not sure that I deserve all of that praise!
M: Yes, of course you do! I have learned so much about you. It’s so fresh to see a student who is so modest about her accomplishments. Now would you mind my telling you what type of help I will need with my project.
W: Sure.
M: I am basically looking for someone who can gather information regarding cultures which exist along the Amazon River.
W: Really? What a coincidence! That’s the topic for my senior paper!
M: That’s fabulous! Would you be available to do around 16- 20 hours of research each week? I’m currently on vacation, so I’ll be staying in Southern California the next three months. Perhaps we could meet each week to review your findings.
W: That’s great! I will be very happy to work with you.
M: Good, if you decide to take this short-term job, the university has agreed to provide 4 credit hours for your work in this position.
W: Really? Thank you so much! I’d like to start the work immediately!
