Speaking Question 5

Listen to a conversation between two students.

Man: How is it going? Julie.

Woman: Not too good. You know the student art exhibit next week?

Man: No. What’s that?

Woman: It’s where a few art students are chosen to show a piece of artwork in the student center for people to see.

Man: Oh! Cool. You were chosen?

Woman: Yeah. Except I just found out that I can’t use the painting I did for it.

Man: Why not?

Woman: Because it’s too big. I’m into working on a really large scale now.

And the painting I did for this show is huge. It’s like a three-meter wide canvas, but each artist only gets a small amount of wall space.

Man: The organizers can’t make an exception?

Woman: No. They said it wouldn’t be fair to the other students if they let me have more space.

Man: That’s too bad. What are you going to do?

Woman: I don’t know. I could give them an older painting. I do have one that’s small enough.

Man: Great!

Woman: Yeah. It’s a nice painting and all. It’s just that I did it a while ago.

My technique has improved a lot since then. So it wouldn’t be my best work or anything. I don’t think it’s as good as what I’m doing now.

Man: Well, could you maybe do a new painting? A smaller one, by next week, for the show?

Woman: Yeah. I could. That would be something fresh, something I’d be more proud of. But I’m really busy right now. I’ve got some exams coming up that I really need to study for.
