Richard: I do. Very much. Yes.

 

Todd: OK. Um, what kind of art do you like?

 

Richard: OK. Well, I like all kinds of art.

 

Todd: OK.

 

Richard: When I was young I used to enjoy painting.

 

Todd: OK. What did you paint?

 

Richard: OK. When I was a kid, I was in art class, so it was all fairly sort of basic standard stuff like country scenes.

 

Todd: Country scenes! So in a country scene, what can you see?

 

Richard: OK, I can see a red house, with a chimney, billowing smoke..um..green fields , luscious green grass in England.

 

Todd: Wow, so is your..is your home like that in England?

 

Richard: Actually, no! No, It's not in the....we're in the suburbs of London, we're not really in the country.

 

Todd: Oh!

 

Richard: And I used to paint sort of idyllic countryside scenes.

 

Todd: OK. Which do you prefer, the country of the city?

 

Richard: To paint or to live in?

 

Todd: Uh..to paint.

 

Richard: To paint! To paint I prefer the country.

 

Todd: OK. Great.

 

Richard: To live in, I think it is more convenient being, being near a big city.

 

Todd: OK. Great. Thanks.
