James:	So Michelle, let me introduce you to Maria. She's my colleague from Brazil. Maria, this is Michelle.

Maria:	Hi Michelle. So what do you do here in Shanghai? I mean, what work do you do?

Michelle:	I work in advertising right now. How about you?

Maria:	I'm actually inthe wine business.

Michelle:	That sounds really great. I love wine myself! Is this your first time to Shanghai Maria?

Maria:	No actually, I often visit. I usually come to China for business at least once a year. Also, I love the restaurants in Shanghai, so that's a good reason to come.

Michelle:	Me too. Actually, there's a great Brazilian restaurant I recommend. I mean, the food is delicious butthe service isn't so good. I often like to get together with friends and have a great barbecue there.

James:	We should go together some time.

Michelle:	Wonderful idea! I'd love that!
