Eliza Crighton: I could do with a bit of cultural life.

George Hawk: May I offer my assistance?

E.C.: O.K. It’s a shame to be in London and not to enjoy its attractions to the full. I find art very inspiring.

G.H.: That’s good. I suggest we sort out our plans first. There must be a list of attractions at the Reception which gives opening and closing times.

E.C.: Making choice doesn’t come easily to me. It’s a pity you can’t take in everything at one go.

H.W.: Let’s do it this way. The Science Museum to start with while we’re still fresh for serous things. And then there is the National Gallery, the Tate Gallery and the Royal Academy of Arts to choose from. They’re absolutely a must for anybody who is fond of painting. Are you?

E.C.: Very much. Especially of the Impressionists.

H.W.: Really? Amazing! I wonder what other interests we might share.

E.C.: We’ll find out as we go along. But let’s be realistic. We’d completely worn out if we tried. And the impressions would be rather superficial (= надуманный), I’m afraid. So, again the problem of choice.

H.W.: I want you to decide.

E.C.: I suggest we go to the Royal Academy of Arts. There’s a visiting exhibition on at the moment.

H.W.: To good to be true. "Twentieth-century Modern Masters". It’s unique chance to see Chagall, Dali, Picasso and Vlamink all at once. What do you say to such a magnificent company?

E.C.: What about the tickets? We’ll spend the whole day queuing up, won’t we? We couldn’t waste our time.

H.W.: I suppose so. But I don’t think there are many true lovers of this type of art. It is not like Madam Tussaud’s where people do queue up from early morning till closing time.
