I only moved to this city recently and I think I'm going to Like it I live

on a housing estate in a residential area which is on the outskirts.It's a mixture of houses and flats but there's tots of space aroundthe buildings and some lovely parks I work in an office block on

a historic centre which meant it was almost imoossible to drive there.Also because it's surrounded by hills there isn't much space and mostpeople live in tower blocks in the suburbs on the edge ofthe city N4yflat had a great view but you live with other people's noise al[ the timeand I got tired of that so I decided to have a change And the area was

a bit run down - it hadn't had any money spent on it for years My life

Interlocutor: What is speciaI about your capital city?

Student: I come from Mexico and I grew up jn N4exico City My famity

live in the suburbs but I go into the centre a [ot I love it - there's

lots of nightlife and it's a rea[[y exciting place to be It's a very

speciaI place It's huge and very busy and that's a disadvantage of

course I suppose some people get tired ofthe poLlution and traffic

but there are also beautifuI parks The centre is realty old and there

are some very impressive buildings We get a lot oftourists because

ofthat The estate I live on is modern and it's a bjt more peacefut

than in the centre

Interlocutor: Is there a city you'd Like to visit in the future?

Student: I haven't been to Asia and I hear that Thailand is very

beautiful Bangkok is maybe a bit tike Mexico City - very noisy and

busy but exciting so I'd like to go there But I'd also [ike to go to the

beach and visit the islands

Interviewer: Right, and I've been to severaI of your exhibitions, and

there's certainly nothing abstract about the [andscape paintings

you do

Anna: 0h no, one art critic told me recently that many of my pictures

could be mistaken for photographs because they're so realistic

Interviewer: I think that's certainly true of the paintings you do of

beaches I love those

Anna: 0h yes I've painted lots of beaches with the surf beating down

on them

Interviewer: But just recently you've done a new series of pictures

using different shades of yellow and orange

Anna: Yes, I wanted to do something completely different, so I've done

some paintings ofthe desert l've tried to give an impression ofthe

lines in the sand and the heat

Interviewer: So what is it that makes your pictures unique do you

thi n k?

Anna: I'd say it's the way I portray the tight It's not something many

other artists do

Interviewer: And your paintings are very large aren't they - that's

u n u s u a l t o o

Anna: Yes, they're big and I work on canvas - I frnd it very hard to use

any other surface, like board, though other artists have been very

successfuI with it

Interviewer: I see And what type of paint do you use?

Anna: Wel[, ]'ve tried painting in acryLic and water coLours, but I now

paint exclusively in oits - personaLty I think it suits my style

Interviewer: Wett, other people obviously think so as wetl - your

paintings se[[ we[[, don't they?

Anna: They certainly do, and not just to private individuats A lot of

my pictures are now bought by companies because they consider

them to be a good investment

Interviewer: That's great

Anna: It certainly is

Interviewer: And your talents don't stop at painting, do they? I

believe you aLso write?

Anna: Mmm I've written some short stories for children, which I did

illustrations for, and a number of my articles about painting have

appeared in different magazines

Interviewer: Do you have plans for any other commerciaL ventures?
