W: Well, as a matter of fact, we were discussing this question last night. We all spoke of the Great Wall, one of the seven wonders of the world. We wouldn't want to leave China without seeing that. If it could possibly be arranged, how far is it from here?

M: Only about 50 kilometers. Just an hour and a half's trip by car. We'll put down at the Great Wall then.

W: Good! And we've heard quite a lot about the Summer Palace. We'd like to see that, too.

M: All right, the Summer Palace, well, and there are a number of places that I think you'd find interesting, the Temple of Heaven, the Former Imperial Palaces and the Ming Tombs.

What was said before this conversation?


M: Before making out a plan for sightseeing trips for you, I'd be glad to know if you have anything special in mind that you'd like to see.
