Conversation One
W: Thank you formeeting with me, Stephen, at such a shortnotice.
M: Not a problem, Margaret. Now please give me some good news. Haveyou agreed to my last proposal?
W: [1] I have indeed and I wish to sign the agreement, pending one small change to be made a contract
M: Margaret, we've been through this for almost ayear now, back and forth making alterations. Are you sure you want to make a sponsorship deal foryour clients or not? [2] I ask this because frankly, some people at my end are running out of patience
W: I understand your concerns, but as I'm sure you understand, wehold our clients'best interests to be of the utmost concern. We therefore comb through the fine details of all contracts. Rest assured weall appreciate your firm's patience
M: Okay, fine. So what changes do youwish to make?
W: Essentially, we would like the new deal to exclude the Middle East. That'sall.
M:The Middle East? Why?
W: My client has a couple of other prospective marketing deals from companies in the Middle East. Those offers,
should they materialize, would exclusivelyemploy my client's image in the Middle Eastonly. [3] Therefore, in order to avoid any conflict, we would need to ensure that both marketing campaigns do not overlap geographically.
M: What business sector in the Middle East are we talkingabout here?
W: Real estate.
M: Well, that should be okay then. So long as the product is very different from our food and beverage market, there
should be no conflict of interest. Nevertheless, I will have to run this through my people. I don't foresee any
problem, though.[4] The Middle East is a negligible market for us. But I still need to check this with a couple of
departments.

W: Hi, John. [5] Yes, all the astronomers on site here are very excited. In fact, space enthusiasts all acrossNorth America and the rest ofthe Northern Hemispherewill be congregating on mountaintops tonight towatch the night's sky
M: Why?What's the bigevent? Isthere an eclipse happening soon?
W: [5][6] Tonight, the Earth will come into close proximity with the Oppenheimer comet. It is the closest our planet has been to such a phenomenon in over 100 years. Forthis reason, itis expected thatthousands ofpeoplewill gaze up at the sky tonight in order to seethis formidable object.

But nevertheless, this is a relatively close distance, close enough for people to observein gooddetail through a telescope.[7] People will only see a blur without one.
