QUIM,THE PAINTER



Hi,guys. Today I want to talk to you about Quim, my neighbour.He's a painter,yet (=aunque) he's not a famous painter.Actually, (=de hecho) nobody knows him. He barely makes a living out of art (=se gana malamente la vida con el arte), but he keeps on believing(=sigue creyendo) in his dream.He doesn't want to make a fortune (=hacer una fortuna),he doesn't want to be famous.What he really wants is recognition. He wants the world to get to know (=conozca) his paintings,he wants the world to admire his paintings. I talk to him everyday after dinner,and yesterday evening he asked me an interesting question: "Do your students prefer recognition,medals(=medallas) or the cash?" (=la pasta). I didn't know what to answer.In this world,some people look for medals (=algunas personas buscan medallas),other people look for cash (=otros pasta), and other people just enjoy life.What's your main concern? (=¿qué te interesa más?).
