Patty: Hello, Beth! What are you doing?

Beth: Hi! I must present a project about an important monument in the United States.

Patty: That sounds very interesting. Which is the monument you chose?

Beth: The Statue of Liberty. It always fascinates me because of its beauty and what it represents.

Patty: Yes, I love it, too. My grandmother sometimes tells me stories about it. She says that the statue is a gift from France. Is it true?

Beth: Of course. It was built in Paris and it is made of copper.

Patty: Awesome! And what's the meaning of it as a present?

Beth: French people wanted to celebrate their close friendship with the United States, but the statue itself is a symbol of the American freedom and democracy.

Patty: Now, I understand why I see it very often in important events of the country.

Beth: Yes, it stands over the New York Harbor in the Hudson River since October 28th, 1886.

Patty: Great! You never miss anything in your projects. You will do it perfectly.

Beth: Thank you, Patty. Well, I’ll go back to continue with my research.

Patty: Sure! It was nice seeing you.

Beth: Nice to see you, too. Bye!
