A=Annette M=Matt

A: Hello, Matt, how are you?

M: Oh, I’m fine, thanks.

A: I didn’t see you last week.

M: No, Claire and I went to New York on holiday.

A: Oh, wow! What did you do there?

M: Oh, lots of things. The first day we went for a walk in Manhattan. It was very busy, lots of buildings and cars. Then on the second we…er…went shopping, and went to one or two museums. The Metropolitan Museum was closed, though, so we didn’t go there.

A: Did you go to the Statue of Liberty?

M: Yes, of course. We went to the top, and you can see all of New York from there – it looks fantastic! But we didn’t go to the Empire State Building. Next time, maybe.

A: Did you stay in a hotel?

M: No, we didn’t, we stayed with friends. They lived on the 9^th Avenue, near Central Park. We were lucky they lived there, because New York’s a really expensive city.

A: Hmmm. So what was the best place you went to?

M: Er…Central Park, I think. We went for a walk there every day. It’s a beautiful park, very big, and it’s interesting watching all the people there.

A: What about the food?

M: Oh, we ate sandwiches and burgers all the time! We didn’t go to expensive restaurants, because we didn’t have a lot of money.

A: So you had a good time then.

M: Oh, yes, it was great. We want to go back again next year.

A: Hmmm. I think I need a holiday...
