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. What would the listener say?
