Tapescript
Girl: Hey, that’s a good portrait. It’s so realistic. You’ve really got the expression right – the look in the eyes.
Boy: Yes, I’m pleased with it. What do you make of the mouth? Do you think I need to do more work on it?
Girl: No, don’t change a thing. It’s brilliant. And the light coming in through the window is really good. You’re 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 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. I know, there’s
an exhibition of water colours on at the same gallery.
Girl: Oh, that sounds interesting. I love water colours.
Boy: Do you? I prefer oil paintings, myself. But I’d still like to go.
Girl: Let’s do that then…And I do thi
nk your picture of Mike is wonde
rful.
Boy: Mike? It’s not a picture of Mike!
It’s a picture of Paul!
Girl: Paul? It’s a picture of Paul? Oh!
I didn’t realise that. Sorry!
