W: Welcome to visit our city, Mr. Lewis.

But, of course, you have been here before, haven't you?

M: Yes, I have. What a good memory you have!

I was here for the Arts Festival last year.

W: And what will you be doing on this visit?

M: Oh, I came here primarily for a holiday and to see some friends.

But I will also be giving some private cello lessons as well.

W: I believe that your cello is rather special. Is that true？

M: Oh,yes. It was made from my uncle

by a very expert German cello maker called Schuster.

When I began cello lessons at the age of eight,

he said that when I grew big enough to handle a full-sized cello,

he would give it to me.

W: So when a child begins to play the cello,

he or she starts on a smaller instrument?

M: Of course, or he would be very uncomfortable.

Many children begin with a half-sized cello,

but as I was big for my age, I began with a two-thirds-sized cello.

W: Are you going to other places on this trip and will you take your cello with you?

M:Yes,very definitely.

W:But isn't it very diffcult taking a cello around with you?

M:Not really.I just reserve two seats when I am traveling anywhere.

One for me,and one for my cello.

It's such a precious instrument to me that it hardly ever leaves my sight.
