M：Hi, there. Carol. Oh I'm glad into you. What's up?
W：Well, at the moment I'm running around like crazy trying to get all the last-minute things done,before we leave on our trip to London.
M：London! (1)_______________
W：Well, we're pretty excited about it ourselves.
M：Guess it will cost you a fortune!
W：Not really. You see, we're doing a house exchange.
M：How did you ever arrange that?
W： Through some mutual friends.
M：Some people have all the luck!
W：Sure. I remember them from the barbecue party.On their trip to Europe last year they met this British couple who's been dying to come to the States,(2)____________________________.So they asked the Hansons if they could find someone who'd be willing to do an exchange.Hanson thought of us right away,since we've been talking about going to England for years.The only thing that's been holding us back is the money.
M：Aren't you a little nervous about having strangers come in and take over your place?
W：I don't see why I should be.(3)_______________________.With someone actually in the house,burglars will think twice before trying to break in.What's more, the family has agreed to take care of the dog and water the lawn.What more can you ask?
