英文原版对话1000个:858 New York, New York

Mike: Hey, Mari.

Mari: Hey.

Mike: So, I told you about Florida. How about you tell me something about New York?

Mari: New York, yeah. Well, I was born in New York, and I lived there for a little bit over half of my life. There's lots to do in New York.

Mike: So, what part are you from?

Mari: I was born in New York City and then I grew up in the suburbs¹ about 40 minutes north of New York City.

Mike: So, what did you do growing up?

Mari: When I was very young I used to go to museums with my parents or go to Broadway shows, and go shopping as well.

Mike: You like the city life?

Mari: I do like the city life. It's very convenient². It's energetic³. There's lots to do, and New York City is really diverse⁴ so it's fun to see the different communities and different people and tourists walking around.

Mike: So if I was visiting New York, what should I do?

Mari: It depends on which season you went to visit, so I don't know, if you went during the spring or summer time, I would suggest that you spend some time in Central Park. Go see sports. A lot of sporting events during the summer and there are a lot of events also in Central Park. There's outdoor theater and music concerts and stuff⁵, but if you went maybe in the wintertime, you should go see all the windows on Fifth Avenue⁶ that are decorated with very holiday-themed decorations and Rockefeller Center is known⁷ for their big Christmas tree, and you just get a really fun feeling in New York City. Everyone's a little bit more nicer, and I don't know, I like all the seasons in New York City so it depends on which season you decide to visit.

Mike: Ah, sounds great, so there's a lot of things to do in New York.

Mari: Yeah.
