Work in pairs. Make improvements to each other’s introductions and share them with the class.
A possible version:
Last Tuesday, our school invited an old craftsman to teach us how to make dough figurines, which aimed at learning more about traditional Chinese culture.
At first, he showed us the basic steps and skills of making dough figurines. We stood around him and watched his movement in an attentive way. Then we were asked to have a try ourselves. The old man walked around and instructed us patiently. Finally, we put the figurines we made on the table and took pictures with him. Looking at the products of our hard work, we were all very excited.
What an interesting day! We expressed our gratitude to the craftsman. It suddenly hit me that it’s our duty to spread Chinese culture to people all over the word.

Do you want to live a happier, less stressful life Try laughing for no reason at all. That's how thousands of people start their day at Laughter Clubs around the world-and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy.
The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr Madan Kataria.“Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day," says Dr Kataria. "Everyone's naturally good at laughing-it's the universal language. We want people to feel happy with their lives." There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 worldwide.
Many doctors are also interested in the effects of laughter on our health.According to a 5-year study at the
UCLA School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our
health against illness by about 40%.
So, what happens at a Laughter Club I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class, to be honest-I wasn't interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha," while looking at each other. However, our bodies can't tell the difference between fake laughter and real laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects.
Surprisingly, it works! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real-and some people just
couldn't stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if you're under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results!

A.Britain. B.America. C.Australia. D.India.
2. How did the writer feel at the beginning of the class

3. When did the people in the club begin to laugh for real
