M: You’re going to wear out the computer’s keyboard.
W:Oh, hi!
M:Do you have any idea what time it is?
W: About ten or ten thirty?
M: It’s merely midnight.
W: Really? I didn’t know it was so late.
M: Don’t you have an early class to teach tomorrow morning?
W:Yes, at seven o’clock, my computer class. The students go to work right after their lesson.
M:Then you ought to go to bed. What are you writing anyway?
W:An article I hope I can sell.
M:Oh, another of your newspaper pieces. What’s this one about?
W:Do you remember the trip I took last month?
M:The one up to the Amazon?
W: Well, that’s what I’m writing about. The new high-way and the changes it’s making in the Amazon valley.
W: It should be interesting.
W:It is. I guess that’s why I forgot all about the time.
M:How many articles have you sold now?
W: About a dozen so far.
M: What kind of newspapers are they?
W: The papers that carry a lot of foreign news. They usually appear in the big Sunday editions where they need a lot background stories to help fill off the space between the ads.
M:Is there any future in it?
W: I hope so. There’s a chance I may sell this article to a news service.
M: Then your story would be published in several papers, wouldn’t it?
W: That’s the idea. And it might even be able to do other stories on a regular basis.
M:That would be great.
