When you talk with someone, you’ll need to end your conversation at some point. And there are many reasons why you need to do that. Either you or the other person may need to continue an activity such     1     working or shopping. Or you may have run out of things to say. You just want to keep the conversation     2     (short) than before.

But     3     do you end a conversation in a polite way? It may depend on where and how the conversation started. It may also depend on your relationship with the     4     person. If you already know that person, you can just say, “I need to run now.” Or you can say, “I’ll catch you later.” You may also give a reason     5     is for ending the conversation. “I really need to go—my piano class starts in ten     6     (minute).”

Perhaps you just meet someone in a social situation, and you have a nice talk. But then you have to go. You can say, “It was nice meeting you. Maybe we can talk     7     (happy) again sometime in the future.”
