Conversation 219 (Listen and Read)

Hey, Ivy.

I heard you were planning to fly to New York this week for that big conference.

Are those plans still on?

Oh, I'm still going, but I had to reschedule at the last minute.

I'll actually be flying out on Saturday afternoon and returning on Wednesday.

That's unfortunate timing!

How did the organizers take the news?

They usually prefer everything to go as planned.

I explained that a critical project demanded my attention and had to be sorted out by Friday.

Luckily, they understood and said it wouldn't be a problem.
