PART IV. Short Talks
Questions 1 through 3 refer to the following talk.
(M) My son is a painter. He always liked painting, even as a little child. When he was a student in elementary school he won his first art competition. He painted a picture of a cat and won first prize. When he came home he was so happy that he actually tried to paint our cat! Since then he has done many paintings. Now, he has his own studio, and he makes paintings that are bought by hotels and restaurants to decorate their walls. Mostly he does landscapes, but he can paint anything. You name it, he can paint it. Next time you go to a restaurant, look at the painting on the wall... it may have been done by my son!
Questions 4 through 6 refer to the following talk.
(W) Wherever I travel, I always carry a sketchbook with me. Some people like to take photographs, but I think that photos are too impersonal. I prefer sketching because I can make a picture that nobody else has. I have done sketches of many things that I have seen: the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Coliseum in Rome, and Buckingham Palace in London just to name a few. Sketching is also a good way to meet people. People see me sketching and sometimes start talking to me. I've met a lot of very nice people that way, and now I have friends all over the world. I have a big notebook at home where I keep all of my sketches. I have over one hundred of them. |
