Bernard Shaw: "Yes, I do. But don't mind! Go on playing!"
Girl: "But Mr. Shaw, I can see that you are not even paying attention to me. I thought you liked good music."
Bernard Shaw: "I do, but unfortunately, I find your playing quite terrible. I must be honest with you."
Girl: "Oh, I see. I (play) all evening thinking I (impress) you. I guess I (choose) the wrong piece."
Bernard Shaw: "Yes, indeed. But don't worry, we all have room for improvement. Keep practicing, and who knows, maybe one day you will (become) a great pianist."
Girl: "Thank you for your honesty, Mr. Shaw. I will definitely take your advice and (work) harder on my music."
