M: You must be looking forward to your trip back to Colorado. It should be fine to hike up into those mountains again.
W: Well, there may not be time for that. The thing is I haven't seen my sister and her kids for three years.

M: Tom's house is a mess. Doesn't he ever clean it?
W: I guess he just has too much else on his mind with that new job of his.

M: Hey, that's a great sweater you're wearing. It looks really warm.
W: Yeah, but I wish I had brought a coat like you did. It's really cold today.

M: Sorry, there is a party going on down in the lounge. I suppose I could check the dining room though

W: Professor, have you graded my term paper yet?
M: To tell you the truth, I've been tied up in committee meetings all week.
