Charlie Chaplin’s Unique Acting Style
Paragraph 2:
Charlie Chaplin was one of the best comedy actors
of his time because he knew how to use his body and facial features to make people laugh. In my opinion, the funniest thing about Charlie Chaplin was the way he walked when he was acting as the Tramp, who is his most famous character. The Tramp is a poor man with a kind heart who has unexpected adventures. These adventures, often involving the police, are usually the funniest scenes.

范文赏析
Tang Jiezhong, one of China's top cross-talk artists, died in Beijing on 18 June 2017.The 85-year-old had worked with a number of outstanding comedians throughout his career, including Ma Ji and Jiang Kun.
Tang made a great contribution to the Chinese cross-talk. In his performances, he played many different funny characters very vividly. For instance, he imitated different singing styles to make people laugh.
My favourite Tang Jiezhong's work is The Reverie in the Tiger's Den（《虎口遐想》）with Jiang Kun. A twenty-eight lad was trapped in the tiger's den by mistake, which caused a series of funny daydreams. And many people tried their best to rescue him. I adored their performing style and humour.
Tang dedicated his life to the cross-talk career. He performed many times in a row at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. He is really a great cross-talk performer.
