It's brilliant. And the light coming in through the window is really good. You are a good painter, you know.BOY: Thanks for the compliment! I'm really fond of painting. But learning to paint well takes a long time. How about you, are you interested in it?GIRL: Yes, but I'm not half as good as you. Painting is difficult for me. I couldn't possibly paint a portrait as good as this. I think drawing's a lot easier. I do quite a lot of drawing.BOY: So do I. I always learn a lot when I draw. It teaches you to observe things very carefully. Do you go to art galleries?GIRL: No, I don't. But I should, I know. I really do love art.BOY: Well, how about going to an art gallery next weekend? I'm sure we can find something interesting.GIRL: I'd love to.BOY: There's a pop art exhibition on at the moment.GIRL: Um, I don't like pop art.BOY: Nor do I, really.
