What is the main purpose of the man’s visit this year?

W: Welcome to our city,Mr.Lorden.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 for my uncle by a very expert Italian cello maker called Mario.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 difficult taking a cello around with you?
M: Not really.I just reserve two seats when I’m traveling anywhere,one for me and one for my cello.It’s such a precious instrument to me that it hardly ever leaves my side.
