Listen to a conversation between two students.

(woman): Hey mike, did you finish that article you were writing for the campus newspaper? The one about the school play.
(man): Not yet. Remember how I was going to interview the student who’s directing it?
(woman): Yeah, you said that was going to be a big part of the article.
(man): Right! And I was going to make my article about what the director said, since she knows about picking the play, choosing the cast, designing the set…everything! But I just called and it turns out that she’s got a bad cold…she’s sick!
(woman): So you can’t interview her?
(man): Not today…no…but I have a couple of options. I could wait until she feels better, and interview her then…it’s just that then the article wouldn’t be done in time to go in this week’s paper.
(woman): Oh…so you’d have to put it in next week’s paper then?
(man): Yeah, and the play’s opening this weekend…I mean, it’s running next weekend too, but it’d make more sense to have the article come out before the play opens.
(woman): I see what you mean. So, what’s your other option?
(man): Well…I could interview an actor instead of the director. I talked with one of the lead actors, and he said he’d be happy to do an interview today.
(woman): Sounds good! Then your article would come out before the play opens.
(man): I know, but it’s just that he probably wouldn’t have as much to say as the director, I mean, he wouldn’t know about everything that went into planning the play the way the director does.
