Dialogue А.
A: Today we are going to talk about how to draw a portrait. You know lots of artists who painted portraits, don't you?
B: Yes, we do. I know some of them also painted self-portraits, but I'm not sure what it means...
A: It means that the artist created the portrait of himself. We'll talk about that type of portrait later.
B: Are we going to draw self-portraits too?
A: Yes, we are. But much later on. Otherwise I'm afraid they'll look like self-caricatures.
Dialogue В.
A: Oh, Toni! Here you are at last!
B: Hi, Jack. Sorry for keeping you waiting. The flight was delayed 30 minutes and then it took me some time to find my suitcase in baggage reclaim.
A: Let me help you with it. Oh, it's heavy! And what's in the package?
B: Careful! It's the picture I bought in Rome. The artist is unknown, but it looks valuable. And the colours are very nice.
A: If it were really valuable, they wouldn't have let you through customs. Anyway, let's go, the taxi's waiting.
Dialogue С.
A: I really think we should change something here. Our flat looks too traditional, too boring. It's very old-fashioned.
B: Ok, ok, don't get so excited about it. What would you like to change?
A: Everything. We can start with my room. If we paint the walls yellow, it'll look nicer. And we need to buy new furniture.
B: But I like the furniture there. I don't mind painting the walls but let's leave the furniture as it is...
Dialogue D.
A: Can I help you?
B: Yes, please. I want to buy a present for my nephew. He's turning eight next Saturday.
A: Well, we have a wide choice of educational toys. What's he keen on?
В: Не likes to play active games... And he likes to draw...
A: Have a look at this kids' painting set then. It has several colouring books, watercolours, brushes and pencils. It's a great present and it's not very expensive either.
