Martha replied with a letter:
Dear Mr Finlay
I'd really like to know why you aren't a painter. You can't ask me to focus on painting without explaining why you aren't. Why aren't you a full-time painter? When you demonstrate painting techniques in class, I can see you're not an ordinary art teacher. There is something more there, isn't there? Why are you wasting your time teaching us?
Apart from that, I have some other questions for you:
1.What is your favourite book?
2.Who would you like to have round to dinner? What would you cook them?
3.What did you do last weekend?
4.Would you like to go to Mars?
5.When did you last paint something for yourself?
Answer me soon!
Martha
