Dialogue A
John: Hi, Yura. That’s John speaking. I am calling from New York.
Yura: Hi, John. Did you say New York? What are you doing there?
John: My family are in America now. My father is here on business, but we are having a real holiday. We came to New York yesterday and stayed at a big hotel. We began doing the city in the morning.
Yura: That’s great! What is New York like?
John: People call it “The Big Apple” and it is really big. The streets are long and straight, the houses are so tall.
Yura: I’d like to see New York’s world-famous skyscrapers some day. How long are you going to stay there?
John: I am afraid only for a few days. We are going to Washington, D.C. at the end of the week. I’ll ring you up on Friday.
Yura: Do, and will you send me a postcard from New York?
John: I will, bye.

John: I don’t know. We came here yesterday
night. I hope to see the city this morning.
