Understanding Logical Relationships
Logical relationships usually refer to the inner relationships between/among things, like between causes and effects.
While you are listening, listen for key words like why and because.
Take note of the reasons.
1. Why is Beijing Opera a national treasure of China
2. Why do performers sing in very high voices
3. Why are the costumes in bright colours
Beijing Opera is a national treasure of China because it uses acting, talking, singing, music, dancing and acrobatics. All of those forms are difficult to master.
Performers sing with very high voices because in the early days, it was usually performed on opened-air stages. In order to be heard over the crowds, the music had to be loud and performers had to sing in very high voices.
Costumes are in bright colors because in the past, it was often performed on stages that were lit only by oil lamps. The costumes had to have bright and colorful patterns. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to attract the audience’s attention.
Listen again. List the key phrases used by Dr. Liu to give reasons. Then, talk about whether you like Beijing Opera. Give your reasons.

【句型分析】
画线部分为独立主格结构，此处用作状语，表示伴随。his head和bury之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以bury用过去分词形式。

语法构成 ①现在分词（表示正在进行的主动动作或状态）②过去分词（表示已完成的被动动作的动作）③不定式（表示没有发生或即将发生的动作）④形容词/副词/介词短语/名词
特性 可置于句首或句尾，常由逗号将其与句子分开。独立主格结构与句子之间不能使用任何连接词。
其逻辑主语与句子的主语不同，它独立存在。
独立主格结构用法说明：
They were talking to the natives, the guide acting as the interpreter.
他们正与当地人谈话，导游充当翻译。（the guide与act是逻辑上的主谓关系）

Subject: Questions About School Music Competition.
Dear Sir/ Madam,
I am writing to ask for information about entering our school music competition. I am 15 years old and I study at No.2 Senior Secondary School.
I would like to ask about the music competition of our school. I like music and I think most people like it as well. Most of them are fond of rock and pop music, however, I like classical music, which makes me inspired. So, could you tell me if this kind of music would be acceptable I wonder if you could also give me more information about how to take part in this competition.
...
I appreciate your help and look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Liu Ze

Li Zhen has prepared a short class presentation about Qi Baishi and his paintings. Rewrite the underlined sentences with noun clauses to improve her presentation.
Qi Baishi (1864-1957) was one of China’s greatest painters. Between 1902 and 1909, he travelled across China and painted many pictures of scenery. His interest later changed to simple pictures of everyday life, such as vegetables, flowers, birds and insects.
Cabbages are a well-known subject of his works. 1. In one of his works, there is a tiny insect near the cabbage. It makes the painting special. It has some red markings on its back. Its black eyes, which are fixed on the cabbage, show the creature’s interest in the vegetable.
2. It is interesting to note Qi Baishi’s style of painting. His style of painting often leaves the audience guessing as to the meaning of the work and makes them use their imagination. 3. His paintings are highly valued. His style of painting is the reason for this.
