Page 79, Exercise 2, Listening, One day in Taipei
CLERK: Can I help you?
DAVID: Hello. My wife and I would like some information about Taipei.
CARRIE: We're here just for the day. What would you recommend doing?
CLERK: Just for one day? OK ... well, you should visit Taipei 101.
CARRIE: Taipei 101?
CLERK: Yes, it's a very tall, very beautiful building with 101 stories.
DAVID: Carrie, let's do that.
CARRIE: OK. And I heard the Shilin Night Market is very interesting. Do you think we should go there?
CLERK: Oh, yes. You shouldn't miss the night market. It opens at 4:00 p.m. The food there is very good.
DAVID: Carrie, our bus to the airport is at 6 o'clock, remember? I don't think we have enough time.
CARRIE: Oh, right. That's too bad. Well, are there any good museums? We both love art.
CLERK: I'd suggest going to the Fine Arts Museum. It's excellent.
CARRIE: Oh, yes. I see it here on the map.
DAVID: Let's do that now.
CARRIE: OK. And how should we travel around the city?
CLERK: I think you should take the subway. It's fast, easy to use, and you can save time.
DAVID: Hmm ... I don't really like subways. You can't see any of the city.
CARRIE: Come on, David. As he said, we can save time. That means more sightseeing.
DAVID: True. Well, let's go. So we're going to the museum first and then taking the subway to Taipei 101.
CARRIE: That's right. Thank you very much for your help.
CLERK: You're welcome. Enjoy your stay.
