Arkhan Wow, what a beautiful painting it is, Riffat. Did you paint it by yourself?

Riffat Yeah, I did. Thanks. Do you like it?

Arkhan Of course. It looks amazing. I think it will be expensive if you want to sell it.

Riffat I don’t think so because there are many paintings which look better than
mine.

Arkhan I believe that you can compete with other painters out there. You just have to
believe in yourself.

Riffat Ok I’ll try my best. Thanks.
