V: I can’t believe my eyes. It’s Ju Ming!

S: We have to go get our picture taken with him.

V: Excuse me, Mr. Ju. I’m sorry to bother you, but I just wanted to tell you that I love your work and have been to your museum at least 10 times. Is there any way we could get a picture with you?

J: Sure. I love to meet my fans. What’s your favorite part of my museum?

V: I love your exhibit with the soldiers. It’s very touching.

J: That’s good to hear. Let’s take the shot over there.

S: OK, say cheese! Now, let’s switch places, Violet. I want a picture, too.
