A：Hi, Janice.
B：Hi, Steve. What's new?
A：I've just heard a speech by the mayor. He's an excellent speaker. His speech today was very powerful.
B：Yes, he's a good man. I like him. Although I don't always see eye to eye with him. I still respect him very much.
A：There's one good thing about him; he isn't behind the times. He knows this is the 21st century.
B：I like the way he got right down to business. He's a man of action. Right from the start. He doesn't waste time talking about problems. He likes to solve them.
A：That's true. He made a point of going to work immediately. The city has made a lot of progress since he's been the mayor.
B：He's very independent. He doesn't rely on others. He finds out everything first hand. Then he takes steps to improve the situation. That's what I admire in a leader.
A：He's the right man for the job.
B：I couldn't agree with you more.
A：Next time he gives speech I'll ask you to come along.
B：That would be great. Thanks a lot.
