22. Sample Dialogue: Discussing Art Preferences
At the Art Exhibition
Linh: Look at this painting! It's beautiful. I like the colors.
Minh: It's nice, but I prefer modern art. This painting is too traditional for me.
Linh: Really? Modern art is very different from traditional art. I don't always understand it.
Minh: That's true. But modern art is like a puzzle. You need to think about it.
Linh: I see. What about that sculpture over there? It's as tall as me!
Minh: Yes! I think it's made of metal. The artist is very creative.
Linh: I agree. Let's look at the next room. I heard there are some interesting photographs.
