Step Ⅰ　Lead-in
Look at the sentences from the reading passage and answer the questions.
a Every artist’s wish is to create something that expresses an idea.
b He was particularly interested in the old story about a fish jumping through the “Dragon Gate”.
c Yang Liping’s passion is dancing.
Questions:
1.Apart from nouns and adjectives,what other word forms can serve as predicative
2.Can“interested”in sentence (b) be replaced by “interesting” Why or why not
Suggested answers:
1.Apart from nouns and adjectives, to-infinitive,-ed,-ing can serve as predicative.
2.No,it can’t.Because “interested” usually indicates a person’s interest in something while “interesting” usually indicates something making a person interested.In sentence (b),the subject is “he”,which refers to a person.

What an exhibition!There are many well-known artists exhibiting their awe-inspiring works.I’m totally amazed by Storm.I think the artist got that idea from trees and fallen leaves after a storm.

Replying to @amyheart
Indeed the exhibition is worth visiting,despite the over-priced tickets.But personally,I think the inspiration for Storm might be the overwhelming amount of information in the digital age.The highly-skilled artist is voicing her attitude through the natural form of a storm.
Meimei @meimei01 8 Nov
