A：I can’t believe my eyes!

B：Well, if it isn’t Mike Li!

A：Jim Wang! It’s nice to see you again! It’s been a long time.

B：You know, Mike, I’ve been meaning to call you for a long time. I’m so glad I ran into you today.

A：Me, too. How have you been doing?

B：Super. How about yourself?

A：Pretty good. I can’t complain.

B：So tell me, the last time I saw you, you were planning to go abroad to study, weren’t you?

A：Yes, I guess I was. But as it turned out, I changed my mind. I decided not to go after all.

B：Oh, really? But if I remember correctly, you were intent on going to California. Whatever made you change your mind? I thought you were accepted to Stanford.

A：Well, it’s a long story, and I don’t want to bore you with all the details. But what it boils down to is that I decided that going to Stanford wasn’t a very good idea. I decided to go to Beijing University instead. I want to save my money and start my own business after graduation.

B：Really? That’s very interesting.
