[originaltext]M: Hi. Uh, haven’t we met before? You look so familiar. W: Yeah.

M: Hi. Uh, haven’t we met before? You look so familiar.
W: Yeah. We met on campus last week, and you asked me the same question.
M: Oh, oh really? I’m sorry, but I’m terrible with names. But, but, but . . . Let me guess. It’s Sherry, right?
W: No, but you got the first letter right.
M: I know, I know. It’s on the tip of my tongue. Wait. Uh, Sandy, Susan. Wait, wait. It’s Sharon.
W: Yeah. You got it . . . and only on the fourth try.
M: So, well, Sh . . ., I mean Sharon. How are you?
W: Not bad. And what was your name?
M: It’s Ben, but everyone calls me B.J. And, uh, what do you do, Sh . . . Sharon?
W: I’m a graduate student majoring in TESL.
M: Uh, TESL . . . What’s that?
W: It stands for Teaching English as a Second Language. I want to teach English to non-native speakers overseas.
M: Hey, that’s sound really exciting. And do you need some type of specific degree or experience to do that?
W: Well, most employers overseas are looking for someone who has at least a Bachelor’s degree and one or two years of experience. And what do you do? Are you a student on campus?
M: Yeah, but, uh . . . I guess I’m thinking of the idea of going into accounting or international business, but I guess I’m now leaning towards a degree in marketing.
W: Oh, uh . . . Well, I have to run. I have a class in ten minutes.
M: Oh, okay. And, uh, by the way, there’s this, uh, dance on campus at the student center tonight, and I was wondering if you’d . . . you know . . . like to come along.
W: Oh really? Well, perhaps . . .
M: Okay, well, bye.
