Now you’ll hear two long conversations.
Conversation One
W:Hey, Joe, what’s all this talk about the benefit walkathon this weekend?
M:Don’t you know? Most of the residents in Packer Hall are going to try to walk the seven miles from the Engineering Library, across campus and down to the City Hall in an effort to raise money for the new children’s hospital.
W:Sounds like a good idea. But I don’t understand where the money comes from?
M:Well, a few days before the walkathon, each participant goes around, asking people to pledge a certain amount of money for each mile that he or she expects to walk in the event. Then after the walkathon is over the participants go back to the same people, collect the money pledged and send it into the hospital.
W:So you mean that someone pledges, say, a dollar a mile, and you walk five miles, you get five dollars?
M:That’s right. Of course, most of my friends aren’t such big spenders. The biggest pledge I’ve gotten so far is twenty-five cents a mile. |
