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

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?

     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.
