W: (22)Please be careful as you board the ship. We’ve had a bit of rain today, and the deck is slippery. Now as you have settled into your seats, let me share some information about the Statue of Liberty.
M: I have some questions about the Statue.
W: OK. Go ahead, please.
M: (23)Well, I’m writing a report for school. So I need some details, such as how big the Statue is, when it was built, and so on. Mostly, I just need general information.
W: OK. You know that the statue was built in France, right?
M: Sure, but I don’t know how can such a big statue be transported from France to America.
W: Well, the French originally wanted to complete the Statue by 1876, but they had trouble gathering funds for it. So, it wasn’t finished until 1884. It was then transported to the US. It’s worth mentioning that the Statue was sent in pieces, which were reassembled after arriving in New York.
M: When was that?
W: In 1885.
M: How tall is the Statue of Liberty?
W: Altogether, from the ground to the tip of the torch, the Statue is about 93 meters tall.
M: (24)Wow, that’s amazing! That’s a bit taller than I thought.
W: (25)The number includes the base size. Subtracting the height of the base, the Statue is about 46 meters.
