旅游英语情景口语对话:Washington,,D.C._D.C
STUART: I"m glad I brought my jacket on this trip.
SHARON: Yes, I didn"t know Washington, DC got so cold in winter.
STUART: What would you like to do today?
SHARON: I really think we should take a tour of the White House.
STUART: I thought we could go to some of the museums.
Don"t you want to see the museums?
SHARON: Of course. But today I feel like seeing the White House.
We should see it first, because it"s the most famous historical building here.
STUART: I don"t agree. I think the Capitol building is the most famous.
But okay. If you want to see the White House, we"ll go see it.
I"m just afraid it will be boring.
SHARON: Boring? How can it be boring? It sounds very interesting to me.
STUART: But it"s the White House. The president and his family live there.
They won"t let us see most of it. Probably we can only see a couple of rooms.
SHARON: No, that"s not true.
The White House is very big. And there are a lot of historical exhibits there.
The tour will take us through many different rooms. I read about it in the guide.
STUART: Hmm. If that"s true, then the security there must be very good.
Because it"s strange to think they will let people walk around in the White House.
SHARON: I"m sure the security is very tight.
Probably they will make us walk through metal detectors like at the airport.
STUART: So I can"t take my gun then.
SHARON: Don"t always joke like that! You don"t have a gun.
STUART: Yes, it"s true I don"t.
SHARON: You shouldn"t say things like that. You could get arrested!
STUART: What? Do you think someone will arrest me for making a joke?
Someone will arrest me here at the breakfast table?
SHARON: No. But if you say something like that in the White House,
they may take it seriously. Sometimes I think you joke too much.
