A：You must be pretty excited about your trip to Europe. When is it that you are leaving?
B：In just three weeks, and I am excited. But there are still a few things I need to do before I go.
A：Like what?
B：Like renewing my passport, going to the travel agency to buy my plane ticket and figuring out what to do with my apartment while I'm gone.
A：You are not going to give it up, are you?
B：No way. I'll never find another apartment around here. But I don't like the idea of paying three months' rent on an empty apartment, either.
A：I don't blame you. Perhaps you could sublet it.
B：Yes, but whom to?
A：Mmm…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.
B：That's exactly when I'll be away. It sounds ideal, as long as the landlord agrees.
A：Tell you what, I'll be calling Jim late this week anyway, so I'll mention it to him then.
B：Well, thanks, Bill. Let me know what happens. That extra money will really come in handy.
