DIALOGUE
Hiro, can I ask you some questions?
Just a minute, I'm just trying to fnish this.
Yes, what is it?
How do you write international in Japanese?
Like this.
Ah, yes, now I remember. I thought I knew,
but I wasn't sure.
By the way, I also have a small problem.
What's the matter?
I received a letter from an old friend today.
I can never quite read his handwriting.
Let me see. Uh-huh, quite easy. Here, listen...
NARRATIVE

She's making good progress...
