Read the dialogue below. 

Tom: Hi Henry, it's been a long time since we last saw each other. What have you been up to?

Henry: Hi Tom! It's great to see you again. I've been away on business.

Tom: Really, where did you go?

Henry: Well, first I flew to New York for two meetings. After that, I flew to Atlanta, where I had to make a presentation at a company conference.

Tom: It sounds like you've been busy.

Henry: How long have you lived here in Colorado?

Tom: We've lived here for over 10 years. We moved here in 1998 because I had a new job as a sales representative.

Henry: Have you lived in the same house since you arrived?

Tom: No, first we lived in a condo in downtown Denver. We moved here four years ago. We've lived on the street for four years and they've been the happiest years of our lives.

Henry: Yes, my wife Jane and I love this neighborhood.

Tom: And how long have you lived in your house?

Henry: We've only lived here for two years.

Tom: That's strange, it seems like you have lived here longer than that.

Henry: No, we moved here in 2006.

Tom: How time flies!

Henry: I have to agree with you on that. It seems like yesterday that I graduated from college. I can't believe I've been working for more than 10 years!

Tom: I've been working for more than 30 years! I'm going to retire soon.

Henry: Really? You don't look a day over 40!

Tom: Thank you. You're a great neighbor!

Henry: No. Well, I have to get going. Work is waiting for me. Have a good day.

Tom: You, too. Glad to have you back in the neighborhood!
