Two girls are talking about painting / Две девушки говорят о живописи
| Masha | Hello, Natasha! |

| Natasha | Hello. Masha! |
| Masha | How do you find the weather these days? |
| Natasha | Well, the weather has been really unsettled. But if it keeps fine for the week-end, I will go to the Museum of Russian Art in Kiev. |
| Masha | I have never been there. |
| Natasha | I am sure, if you visit it once, you will visit it regularly. There are many world famous works there. But as tor me, I always try to find the paintings of my favourite artist, Ivan Aivazovsky. |
| Masha | I know, his «The Ninth Wave» is a world-famous masterpiece. |
| Natasha | Many of his works are dedicated to the sea. Maybe, that is because he was born in Theodosia. |
| Masha | He is considered to be a Russian painter. |
| Natasha | Yes, but he has some works, dedicated to Ukrainian culture and history as well. "The Ukrainian Wedding" is one of them. |
| Masha | I once saw his work "The Black Sea". It was really impressive. |
| Natasha | He showed the struggle between the people and the sea, the power of the sea and the courage of the people. |
| Masha | Well, perhaps, if I have free time on the weekend, I'll go with you. |
