A: What places do you want to visit in the United States?

B: I want to visit New York. That sounds like an interesting city to me.

A: I want to see some national parks. The Grand Canyon first, then Yellowstone and...

B: Wait a minute. How much time do you think you'll have? Do you know how far apart those places are?

A: Aren't they all in the West?

B: Yes, but it's a big country. It's a thousands miles from the Grand Canyon to Yellowstone Park.

A: How far is it from San Francisco to New York?

B: It's about three thousands miles, I think. Why?

A: Well, I have a cousin in New York, and a friend in San Francisco. I want to visit both of them while I'm in the States.

B: Maybe you can, if you can go by plane. It takes just about a few hours to fly across the country.

A: How long do you think it will take us to go from here to the States?

B: It depends on how we go. It doesn't take very long by plane, but it takes a long time by ship.
