Talking about Frida Kahlo
Hello everyone,
I have never been an expert in art, so today's speaking class was a little bit difficult for me, though I like paintings and art in general and I enjoy dicussing and expressing my opinion on this or that piece of art or painter.
Today we have been talking about Frida Kahlo, who was a Mexican painter and is famous with her self-portraits. I've heard different opinions on her works, such as she was not so talented and only her tough life is a reason of such high costs of her paintings.
As for me, I tend to an idea, that maybe she was not looking for fame, just wanted to express yourself and feelings. And, as some people prefer writing notebook entries and write diaries, others write stories or poems, and for her painting was just a tool or a way to speak out.
Her saying has stucked in my head: Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly?
Thank you!

Talking about Frida Kahlo
Hello everyone,
I have never been an expert in art, so today's speaking class was a little bit difficult for me, even though I like paintings and art in general, and I enjoy discussing and expressing my opinion on this or that piece of art or painter.
Today, we talked about Frida Kahlo, who was a Mexican painter famous for self-portraits. I've heard differing opinions on her works, such as, she was not very talented and her tough life is the only reason for the high costs of her paintings.
As for me, I think that, maybe, she was not looking for fame; she just wanted to express herself and her feelings. And, just like some people prefer writing notebook and diaries entries, stories or poems, she preferred to paint as she saw this as a tool or a way to speak out.
A quote of hers is stuck in my head: "Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly?"
Thank you!
Some notes
You should use "even though" when you are expressing contrasting information. For example, "Even though that book is difficult to read, I will try reading it."
"have been talking" means an activity you started in the past and are currently doing in the present. Since it seems that you are not talking about her in the present, you should use the simple past tense.
When you describe the activity that a person is known for, you use "famous for"
When you are quoting the words of another person, use quotation marks ""
