Harry: Hi, Katie. What have you got there? Katie: My new camera. I’m just setting it up. Harry: Really? Well, it’s very nice, but how did you get it? I thought you didn’t have any money. Katie: Well, I haven’t! Harry: So did your dad buy it for you? Katie: It was a gift from my aunt, actually. My cousin had one like it, and he was really pleased with it. Harry: But you’ve already got a camera on your tablet, and another on your smartphone. Why did you think you needed that as well? Katie: Well, as you know, I’m trying to build up a portfolio of photos to show people. I’ve already exhibited them at school and they were successful. I’d really love to do an art degree at university, and if I get an interview, they’ll want to see some of my work. I’ll show them some of the pictures I’ve put into competitions, too. Harry: Well, I’m sure they’ll see you’re very talented! And I know you’re absolutely passionate about what you’re doing – photos, paintings and so on. But you have to be really determined if you want to get somewhere in the art world. Do you think you’ve got what it takes to do that? Katie: Well, I know what you mean and I know it’s going to be challenging. But I’ve already decided that during the summer holiday I’m going to work at my dad’s newspaper office for a few weeks to get some experience. That’ll help my application. It’d be great to find a part-time job at a photographer’s, but there aren’t any available at the moment, and the one-month art course I’ve just finished didn’t really cover the things I wanted to learn. Harry: Mm, that’s disappointing, but it sounds as though you’ve got a plan. Anyway, do you want to come to my house to eat dinner tonight? I’m cooking! Katie: Really? What are you making? Harry: Baked fish with tomatoes and grated cheese. You told me once that’s your favourite! Katie: You’re right! And I’ve finished my homework, so I’ve got nothing to do tonight. OK, thanks! Let’s see if you can cook the dish better than I can! I’ll call my parents to let them know. Harry: Great!
