W: You must be very excited about your trip to Europe. When do you leave?
M: In just a week, and I’ m excited. But there are still a few things I need to do before I leave.
W: Like what?
M: Like renewing my passport, buying my plane ticket and figuring out how to deal with my apartment while I am gone.
W: You are not going to give up your apartment, are you?
M: No way. Maybe it is easy to find another apartment around here. But, I don’ t want to pay three month’ s rent on an empty apartment, either.
W: Well, maybe you could sublet it.
M: Yes, but to who?
W: Mmn, let me think. Oh, I know just a person. An old colleague of mine, Jim Thomas, is coming here to do some research this summer, from June to August.
M: That is exactly when I’ 11 be away. It sounds ideal, as long as the landlord agree.
W: Tell you what, I’ 11 be calling Jim this week anyway, so I’ 11 mention it to him then.
M: Well, thanks, Jenny. Let me know what happens.
W: You are welcome. Have a nice trip!
