John: Hello, Sam. It’s good to see you before you leave for your holiday. Where are you traveling to?
Sam: Hello, John. I am traveling to New York. I see that you are going on holiday, also. Where are you traveling?
John: I am flying to London. What are you going to do in New York?
Sam: I am going to ride an elevator to the top of a tall building and look at the city. New York has taller buildings than London.
John: That’s true. But London has older buildings than New York does. Some buildings in London are over 500 years old. In London, I am going for a boat ride on the Thames River to get a good view of the city.
Sam: I am also going to take a boat ride in New York, on the Hudson River. The Hudson River is bigger than the Thames River.
John: I guess it is. But London has beautiful palaces and castles and New York doesn’t. I am going to see the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace on my holiday.
Sam: That sounds great. I am going to a Broadway theater in New York to see a play. New York has many theaters.
John: I am also going to see a play at a theater in the West End. London has many theaters as well.
Sam: I hope you have a good holiday.
John: The same to you. Let’s talk about our holidays after we return.
