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 nearly 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 commuter class, the students who 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 highway and the changes it’s making in the Amazon valley.
    M: 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 buy them?
    W: The papers that carry a lot of foreign news. They usually appear in the big Sunday editions where they need a lot of background stories to help fill up 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 I might even be able to do other stories on a regular basis.
    M: That would be great.
