Question
Suppose a foreigner comes to visit your place and you have to accompany him for sightseeing. Prepare a dialogue between you and the foreigner.
Solution
| Guide (Me): | Good morning! Welcome to Agra. I hope you're ready for an exciting day of exploring. |
| Foreigner: | Good morning! Yes, I'm really looking forward to it. I've heard so much about the beauty and history of this place. |
| Guide (Me): | Absolutely! Agra is rich in history and culture. Our first stop will be the Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Are you familiar with its history? |
| Foreigner: | I know it's a symbol of love, built by Emperor Shah Jahan for his wife Mumtaz Mahal. It's one of the reasons I wanted to visit India. |
| Guide (Me): | That's right! It's a masterpiece of Mughal architecture. Wait till you see it at sunrise; it's truly breathtaking. |
| Foreigner: | I can't wait! What else will we see today? |
| Guide (Me): | After the Taj Mahal, we'll visit the Agra Fort, another UNESCO World Heritage Site. It has a rich history and offers a stunning view of the Taj Mahal from its walls. |
| Foreigner: | Sounds amazing. I've heard Indian food is fantastic too. Any recommendations for lunch? |
| Guide (Me): | Definitely! We'll have lunch at a local restaurant. You must try the Mughlai cuisine, especially the kebabs and biryani. Agra is also famous for its sweet, Petha. |
| Foreigner: | Oh, I love trying new foods. What about the local language? I only speak English. |
| Guide (Me): | No worries! Most people here understand English, especially in tourist areas. But if you want to learn a few Hindi phrases, I'm here to help. |
| Foreigner: | That would be great! How do you say 'thank you' in Hindi? |
| Guide (Me): | It's 'Dhanyavaad'. And if you want to greet someone, you can say 'Namaste'. |
| Foreigner: | Dhanyavaad! This is going to be an unforgettable experience. |
| Guide (Me): | Absolutely! Let's make the most of your visit. If you have any questions or need anything, feel free to ask. |
