W: Have you caught anything so far?

M: No, I’ve been sitting here for an hour, but nothing’s biting. I was just going to move to another spot to see if my luck would change.

W: Perhaps it’s the type of bait you’re using. What are you using?

M: I’m just using a plain old worm

W: I have an appointment to meet with Mr. Ewing at 2. Where can I park?

M: I’m sorry, but our underground parking lot is under renovation at the moment. There is free parking two blocks north of here, but there is a good chance that it might be a full house today because of the art exhibit. You best bet is to turn your car around and drive back down this street to the intersection. There is a pay lot there.

W: That’s quite a distance to walk back here. Do you think I would get a ticket if I just parked somewhere along this street?

M: You can try, but I wouldn’t if I were you. I saw a car being towed away a few days ago.

M1: Have you decided on whether you are going to apply for the job that’s opened up in marketing?

M2: I thought it over and ii don’t think I am going to apply for it because the position doesn’t pay as much as I had thought.

M1: That’s true, but there is a great chance for a quick promotion there. If I were you, I’d think it over again because in a couple of years you’ll be in much better situation than you would have been if you had stayed here.

M2: Hmm… I think you have a point there. Maybe I should try to see if I can get the position first. After all, I might not even be considered for it.
