听力原文：W: Hi, Bill. How is your oral presentation coming along？

M: What oral presentation？ I don't have to give mine until the end of the next week.

W: You mean you haven't even started working on it yet？

M: No. I need the pressure of a deadline to get inspired.

W: I'm just the opposite. I can't concentrate unless I know I have plenty of time. Besides I have a big physics test next week so I want to get my presentation out of the way.

M: What's your presentation on？

W: William Carlos Williams.

M: Wasn't he a poet？ I thought we were supposed to focus on a short story.

W: He wrote short stories, do you know？

M: Really？ I never knew that I guess I'll learn more on Tuesday. Is that when you are supposed to talk？

W: Uh-huh. But I was going to offer you sneak preview. I'm looking for someone to tell me whether I'm talking too fast and whether you can follow what I'm saying.

M: I guess I could do that. When were you thinking of？

W: Will tonight be all right？ I'll be around after dinner.

M: That sounds good. I'll stop by your room. It's probably quieter there than in my hall.
