W: Hey, George! Where are you heading?

M: Hey, it’s you, Mary. I just came back from an exhibition.

W: A what?

M: An exhibition. To be exact, a fine art exhibition.

W: Really? Is it good?

M: Yeah, pretty good, I should say. You know, I don’t have any artistic ability, but I can appreciate the stuff there. There are portraits (肖像), oil paintings and watercolors. It’s really amazing. Sometimes they can fool your eyes — you have to look really closely to see that’s not a photo or something real. It’s a great exhibition.

W: What paintings do you like best?

M: I would have to say the oil paintings. They’re just so colorful and alive.

W: Yeah, that’s one thing that I like about oil paintings. But I can’t stand the traditional style. I find it so boring.

M: Yeah, I’m a little tired of that style, too. I’m crazy about art, and I wish that I were able to paint as well as these artists. You should go and have a look at this exhibition if you can afford a day. It’s really great.

W: Well, I was just thinking about what to do for the weekend. Now you’ve given me a good idea. I’m really looking forward to it!

M: Trust me, it’s worthwhile and the ticket is not expensive.

W: OK. I’ve got to go and get the tickets now. See you.
