Fei : Have you seen Adam’s new painting?
Ralph : Yes. I saw is list weekend.
Fei : It’s not very good.
Ralph : No, it is not. He asked me what I thought of it. I said I didn’t think it was his best painting.
Fei : You’re kidding ! How did he react?
Ralph : He didn’t seem very happy to hear that. But he did ask.
Fei : In my opinion , it’s better to say something positive, even if you don’t really mean it. Don’t you agree?
Ralph : I don’t know . Why do you say that?
Fei : Well, it’s not always easy to hear the truth.
Ralph : I’m not so sure. I find that honesty is always the best policy.
