Professor Wang went on a lecture tour to Edinburgh.

You will hear a conversation between Mr. Wang, a visiting Chinese professor who has just returned from a trip to Edinburgh, and Mrs. Gross, the hostess of the family with which Mr. Wang is staying.
G: Hello, Professor Wang. Nice to see you back again. How was your trip to Edinburgh?
W: It was fascinating. I didn’t even think about coming back. I paid a visit to the University of Edinburgh, and spent three whole days lecturing on Chinese folklore to a group of international students.
G: Well done! Well, how did you like the city?
W: Very much indeed. It is a very attractive city. I spent one day in the city visiting those fantastic castles and museums. I never expected there to be so many places of interest in one city. And I was lucky as to have bumped into a former student of mine. He is doing his Ph.D. at the Department of Applied Linguistics, Edinburgh University. He took me to the lake area the following day. Where I saw elegant peaks, beautiful lakes and exotic rocks. It was very impressive.
G: Boy, that sounds inviting. I really envy you. I must make a trip to that area one of these days.
W: Are you kidding? I can’t believe that as a native of England, you have never been to Edinburgh.
G: That’s nothing strange about it. In fact, many foreigners have more opportunities to see Great Britain than many of the British who have lived here all their lives. Would you believe me that I have never been on board of a plane?
W: That is hard to believe. I always thought that you British have more opportunities to travel. However, I’ll take your word for it.
G: Did you take a lot of photos there?
W: Yes. I took a lot of pictures, some prints and some slides, too. It cost me a small fortune to have them developed and printed.
G: I believe it did. Everything is expensive in Britain. Well, may I have a look at your photos?
W: By all means. Here is my album.
G: Thank you. Say, Professor Wang, you are quite artistic. I like the way you arrange your photos. My word! You have lots of good shots here. I especially like this one. The castle looks so gracious against the blue sky and the white clouds.
W: We spent almost a whole morning at the Castle Museum. It was charming. When I got on top of the hill, I had a bird’s-eye view of the city. It was incredibly beautiful.
G: You certainly had a good time in Edinburgh. And it’s so interesting for me to see things through a foreigner’s eye. I am also quite impressed that you are such a good photographer.
W: Thank you. This trip has really helped me to know more about England. By the way, have you got the time?
G: It’s a quarter to ten.
W: Oh, dear! I’m afraid I’ve got to fly. I have an appointment at ten...
