Hello Tom, do you mean your going away?
Oh yes, I've booked the ticket and it's time for me to go back home.
Well, how long have you been in China?
I've been here for 2 years.
Did you enjoy your stay?
Yes, indeed. I should say. I've had a wonderful time over the past 2 years. You and Xiao Fang have given me a lot of help. People here are very friendly. Thank you all very much.
When are you leaving?
I'm off next Sunday. I've come to say goodbye today.
I'd like to invite you to dinner before you go. What about Friday?
I'm free on Friday. I'd like to come. Would you please ask Xiao Fang to be there, too?
