Assignment
Write a short paragraph about an art form.
Use what you’ve learned in class.
A sample:
Among all the art forms, I like band performance best. I like it because it’s really exciting, and the energetic atmosphere can always cheer me up. During the performance, people throw their hands up in the air and shake their bodies rhythmically along with the songs. What’s more, the bands are just creative and talented. Several kinds of instruments are performed during the whole performance, which makes the music attractive.
