David: Good morning, Emma. How’s your first day here in the Philippines?
Emma: Good morning, David. It’s okay. I want to go sightseeing today. What places do you recommend?
David: I recommend visiting Manila Bay and Rizal Park. The best time to visit these places is in the afternoon so that you can watch the sunset. I can tour you around if you want.
Emma: Really? That’s very nice of you. By the way, your friend told me that there’s an art gallery nearby. How much is the admission fee?
David: The admission fee is one dollar. However, the art gallery is closed today, but you can visit it tomorrow. It will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Emma: Okay. Could you take photos of me while we tour around? I’d like to show it to my parents. They’re in Japan.
