HAPIN: I noticed that you’ve been presenting a lot of papers recently. Will you be
going (1. will/go) to the robotics conference in Tokyo next month?

EON: Yes, I will. (2.) But I __________________ (3. won’t present). The Japanese are doing
very innovative things with personal robotics, and I Hi, Will! Yes. In fact, my talk starts at two
o’clock.

HAPIN: Oh, I think I’ll go. What do you plan to talk about? Will you be discussing robots?

EON: Yes. I’m focusing on personal robots for household work. My talk is called “Creative
Uses of Home Robots.”

HAPIN: I want one of those! But seriously, you promised me an interview on personal robots.
Will you be getting some free time in the next few weeks?

EON: I’m not sure. I’ll call you after the conference, OK?

HAPIN: Great! Where’s your son, by the way? Is he with you?

EON: No. Rocky stays in Denver with his grandparents in the summer. I’m going to visit him
right after the conference. He’ll be ten years old in a few days. I can’t believe it!

HAPIN: It’s his birthday, huh? Here, take this little model of the flying car for him.

EON: Oh, he’s going to love this! Thanks, Will. So what are you working on these days?

HAPIN: Well, Futurist Magazine just published my article on cities of the future. And next
month at their convention, I’m interviewing members of the World Future
Association about flying cars.

EON: That’ll be exciting! Good luck!
