sharon： there is a matisse exhibition at the museum of modern art. larry and i will go.

sylvia： did you buy tickets already?

sylvia： well， probably. probably you will have to wait in line if you don't have tickets.

sharon： outside or inside?

sylvia： outside， on the sidewalk.

sharon： hmm. it's very cold today.

but i brought my jacket. maybe it will be alright to wait.

sylvia： the moma is very popular. there will be a lot of people.

sharom： “moma”? what's that?

sylvia： oh， sorry.

it stands for the museum of modern art. it's an acronym. m o m a “moma.”

sharon： i see. do you have any suggestions for other things we should do?

sylvia： i suggest you go to the jewish museum.

it's not far from the guggenheim， near central park. it is really very interesting.

also， there is a great museum of medieval european art further up north.

it's called the cloisters.

sharon： how can we get up there?

sylvia： you can take a bus.

sharon： but larry says the neighborhoods in the north are dangerous.

sylvia： some places aren't good to go.

but i can show you the right bus to take. it will be no problem.

sharon： we want to see the statue of liberty too.

sylvia： i have never done that myself. but i hear it is very interesting. you two should go.

sharon： you have never gone to the statue of liberty?!

i can't believe it! but you live here!

sylvia： yes， but i'm very busy with work.

and you know how it is， sometimes people don't visit the tourist sites in their own country.

sharon： i know. are the subway trains easy to take here?

sylvia： oh， yes. i recommend the subways. they are very fast， faster than taxis.

and the maps are very clear. just be careful you don't get off in the wrong place.

sharon： thank you for all this advice， sylvia. let me pay for our breakfast today.

sylvia： no， absolutely not.

you are a visitor here. when i come to illinois， then i will let you pay.

but here， i think of you as my guest.

sharon： you are treating us too well.

sylvia： i am happy you decided to come.

it gets cold here in winter， but there are many many things to do.
