Shanghai from New York.
Michelle: Oh, hi James. Nice to meet you. So, uh. you
visiting for business or pleasure?
James: Well, actually a little of both. I’m meeting some
business contacts but I’m also taking some Mandarin
classes too.
Michelle: That’s cool! How’s it going?
James: Well, I’m finding the classes pretty tough actually,
but I’m having a great time in Shanghai. It’s really an
amazing city.
Michelle: It sure is. Are you staying for long?
James: Only two weeks unfortunately. I wish I could stay
longer but.
Michelle: Well listen, if you need someone to show youthe
sights then just call me. I’m having a little get together at
my new apartment next week so if you want to drop

James: That sounds great. I’d love to! Let me take down
