[04:21.07]Alex, a young Englishman, is staying in New York with Linda,a friend of his

[04:29.42]He is only there for two days and wants to see as much as possible

[04:35.98]He is talking to Linda about the most interesting places.

[04:42.24]L: So what are you going to do while you're here?

[04:48.18]A: Well. I don't know much about New York really,

[04:53.76]you know, just the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty. You tell me!

[05:02.40]L: You've just got two days, right

[05:07.08]You're going to be pretty busy if you want to see all the sights!

[05:13.27]A: I'm planning to start early tomorrow morning. What should I do first?

[05:20.47]L: I think you should start with the Empire State Building

[05:26.52]It's not the highest building now, but the view's just beautiful in the morning,

[05:34.33]when it's clear and fresh. You have to do that!

[05:40.16]A: Mm. It sounds great! I'll definitely do that

[05:46.25]Which is the highest building in the city now?

[05:52.04]L: The World Trade Center building

[05:56.58]But you should go there at night for the view---there's a bar up

[06:02.99]there and you can relax and look at the lights of the city.It's really wonderfull!

[06:09.83]A: Rights!

[06:12.56]Part two    

[06:16.38]A: What else do you recommend?

[06:19.44]L: Well, it depends on what you like---art, shopping, theatre?

[06:26.89]A: Well, not shopping particularly. But I'd like to see an art gallery or two.

[06:33.98]L: Oh, then you must go to the Metropolitan 2 Museum of Art, Which is just enormous

[06:42.66]You could spend two days there

[06:46.37]That's by central Park

[06:50.51]so you can take a walk through Central Park at the same time,

[06:56.23]but not after dark, remember

[07:00.70]It's dangerous then.

[07:04.37]A: Right.

[07:07.28]Part 3

[07:10.56]A: What about the Statue of Liberty? I must see the Statue of Liberty!

[07:17.11]L: Well, there are different ways to do that

[07:22.62]You can take a tour by boat

[07:26.90]That stops so you can get out and climb up to the top.

[07:32.88]A: Yeah?

[07:36.19]L: Or the cheap way is just to take the regular Staten Island ferry---

[07:42.74]that's not a tourist boat .so it doesn't stop---but it passes right by.

[07:50.88]A: No, I think I'll be a tourist and climb up to the top!

[07:57.14]L: All right. Well,

[08:00.71]there's another interesting trip in the same area---to Ellis Island

[08:07.80]There's a big museum all about the immigrants who arrived there

[08:13.27]That's pretty isteresting!

[08:17.09]A: Mm. Yes, I'd definitely like to do that,too.

[08:22.27]L: Sure, but you're going to be pretty busy

[08:27.78]You won't be able to do that in one day

[08:32.14]It's a long way, you know!

[08:35.95]A: Really? How far is it?

[08:39.70]L: Five or six miles at least!

[08:44.05]A: Is it? I've got no idea where these places are. Have you got a map, perhaps?

[08:51.83]L: Sure, I'll go and get it, and you can plan your route.
