Dialogue 1

- I say, Mike, what are your plans for today?

- Nothing special. Why?

- I want you to show me round. You have been living in New York for almost

eight years, so you know better whaf is worth seeing.

- All right. You'll come for a ride with me and I'll show you some of the sights.

- It will be very kind of you.

- So we can start from Washington Square and go along Fifth Avenue. We shall

pass Greenwich Village and Union Square.

- The only thing I know is that Fifth Avenue is the place where very rich people

live.

- That's right. Do you know what Times Square is famous for?

- No idea.

- It's famous for its theaters and movies. If you are interested in

skyscrapers you should pay attention to the Empire State Building though it is not the tallest building any longer.

- There must be your famous Central Park nearby.

- Yes, it is a pleasure ground and besides there are a number of museums there.

- We'll go to the museums tomorrow. Agreed?

- Sure. Now I want you to see Park Avenue which is a fashionable residential

section of the city. It's on the opposite side of Central Park from Broadway.

- I hear the Frick Museum and the famous Metropolitan Museum are there.



- That's right. Do you want to watch a game of baseball?

- Yes, I do.

- In that case I'll take you to the Stadium. Tomorrow I'll show you some other

sights: Rockefeller Center Radio City, George Washington Bridge and Bronx

Zoological Gardens.

- I am looking forward to visiting those places.

 

Dialogue 2.

Alex: Hello, Steve! Nice meeting you again. How have you been?

Steve: Hi! I've been quite well and I'm happy to see you too. Where have you

been all this time?

Alex: I was having my vacation in New York.

Steve: Did you like it there?

Alex: "Like" is not the right word. It was great!

Steve: How long were you in New York, Alex?

Alex: About two weeks.

Steve: What have you seen?

Alex: Not much, I'm afraid. I've been on a sightseeing tour, though – squares, monuments, historical buildings and all that.

Steve: Have you visited the Museum of Modern Art?

Alex: Not yet. But I've read a lot about it.

Steve: What a pity! Their Impressionists are very good.

Alex: Yes, Cezanne is my favourite. But between you and me, I don't understand

abstractionists. I mean I don't know what people see in them.

Steve: Tastes differ.
