Beginner Conversation: Literature and Art

WARM UP

Let’s read the dialogue. I will be Sam and you will be Alice. After reading it once, we’ll switch roles.

READ

How was the school field trip, Alice? Where did you go?
We went to the art museum. My favorite part is the paintings of Greek gods. Do you know that there are twelve Olympian gods in Greek Literature?

Of course, but the three most famous Olympian gods are Zeus, the king of the gods, Poseidon, the god of the seas, and Hades, the god of the underworld.
You’re correct. There is an amazing painting of them in the museum, as well as a painting of my favorite Greek god Apollo, the god of sun and music.

My favorite Greek god is Poseidon, the god of the seas. I hope that I can go to the art museum you visited soon.
We can go there with our parents next week. I will tell them.
