With whom is the man speaking?

M: Have you made any plans to go away during semester break? I’ve been thinking of skiing.
W: I really haven’t had time to think about my vacation, I’ve been concentrating on getting ready for my exams, especially philosophy. But I’ll probably go to the beach.
M: Why the beach?
W: Well, it would be nice to get away from this cold weather and just lie in the sun and relax after working so hard.
M: It’s true that skiing does require work. And you have to get up early and wait in long lines for the chair lifts. Thanks. I think you help me make up my mind.
W: Sure. Now maybe you can use your mind to think about something else, like your studies.
M: Yeah, just as you said, I should focus more on study now, because the exams of various courses are approaching. If I cannot pass those exams smoothly, I will not have a good time in vacation.
W: Absolutely! So now we should put the vacation aside temporarily and make good preparation for the exams. Do you want to go to the library with me now?
M: Sure! Let’s go!
