I don't eat many vegetables, except potatoes with my beef. And, oh yeah, I sometimes eat apples and beef sometimes. I have two brothers.

Problem: W: That's great! I like this style very much. And I think if you want to embody the Chinese elements, you should use the red color. It is the most representative color in China, and sometimes it is called "Chinese Red". M: Oh, yes, I agree with you. And as for the door and the windows, I also like to use lattice. I think it is the most important elements of Chinese decorating. W: Yes. I think you have a good understanding of the Chinese style. And I suggest you'd better hang two Chinese landscape paintings. M: Oh. That's a good idea. I will buy them in the afternoon. And I'd like to paint the walls again and buy a new sofa. W: What color do you want to paint? M: I don't know exactly, but I'd like to use fresh colors. I think these colors look vivid. W: What about the sofa? M: I have no idea about it. What was said before this conversation?
