M: I usually go once a year if I can. But it’s a bit expensive to fly from Australia to the United States every year. W: Yeah, I think so.
M: And time is also a problem. I prefer to go for a month and make a real holiday of it.
W: You’re right. It’s not worth going all that way just for a week or two. So what do you think of New York? Do you like it?
M: Oh, I really like it. It’s great. It’s easy to get around and there are lots of good museums and theatres.
W: Yeah, I love it too. I often feel excited in New York. You’re making me miss it! 9. Welcome to Lockley House. It was built at the time of Queen Elizabeth the First at the end of the sixteenth century.
As you go up the stairs, you will see pictures of the people who owned the house through the centuries. At the top of the stairs, on the left, is the Gun Room with guns from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It is one of the finest collections in the country. You can buy a book about them in the gift shop.
The building next to the House was built as an indoor tennis court at first. But today it is an indoor swimming pool.
One Saturday a month, there are concerts in the hall. They are very popular, and some of the best players in the country give performances here.
After you visit the House, please take a walk round the wonderful gardens. The House closes at 5:00, but try to come back from the gardens before 4:30. And don’t forget to visit our gift shop before you leave. Enjoy your visit.
