Let’s look at the paintings in this unit, Discuss the questions in Warning up. Which would you choose to put up on the wall of our classroom
I like the paintings on page 3. Because it gives us a special feeling.
I prefer to choose the painting on the top page 2.The painter painted it in a more realistic style to show respect and love for God.
I’d rather choose the paintings on the bottom of page 2.It gives us an abstract impression and appears very lively and vivid
Would you rather have Chinese or Western paintings in your home Give your reasons
Traditional Chinese painting is a combination of the arts of poetry, calligraphy, painting and seal engraving. Chinese paintings have an air of living in a nature, harmony and peace, Which is not always found in the art of other civilizations
I like the abstract paintings. if the modern art using color ,line and shape to show the Objects. I think they can make people create limitless imagination. I’d rather like the western
styles. And I prefer to choose the paintings Of realistic style.
If you were an artist , what kind of pictures would you paint
If I were an artist , I’d like to paint the romantic pictures Which deal with the destinies and passions of mankind. Romanticism’s aim was to unify the mind within the finite world with the infinite.
I’d rather choose to paint the Chinese paintings. I like the bird-and -flower paintings. It has been a popular theme among modern artists.
I enjoy painting landscape very much. You know ,Yin and Yang are opposite forces, which are expressed almost completely in this type of art. Shan shui or mountain -Water is in itself symbol of yin-yang. Mountains are believed to be associated with yang while water is associated with yin.
I’d rather paint pictures .I think it’s very interesting. I can express my own feelings by painting an object or landscape.
In my spare time, I enjoy painting pictures with a pen, pencil or crayon. I like many styles of drawings, such as sketch, diagrams and graphs.
I prefer to make sculptures. I made some simple Sculptures by hand before. I think it is very interesting.
I enjoy designing buildings. The famous architect Gaudi designed his buildings like dreams, full of fantastic colors and shapes. The Opera House in Sydney makes people think of seashells. The 2008 Olympic Stadium in Beijing Looks like a bird’s nest made of trees branches. Although The stadium will be made of concrete and steel, the following lines and round shapes make the building look warm And friendly. I dream some day I can design a building that Would draw the attention of people all over the world.

Though I cannot understand them completely, I think they are fairly beautiful and can make me have a special feeling.
From what you said ,I can see that you know about many artists at home and abroad. Can you speak out the names of some famous western artists and tell me in which century they lived
Vincent Van Gogh was a Dutch Post-Impressionist .His thickly painted canvases with their kinetic, swirling brushstrokes have come to Symbolize Expressionism. He was a famous artist in 19th century

Dear Mr. Wang,
As you know, our school used to look like a beautiful garden with green trees and many kinds of flowers in our schoolyard all year round. But great changes have taken place since a
chemical work was built near our school two years ago .It produces poisonous gases and pours a large amount of waste water into the river. The terrible pollution has done great harm to students and teachers as well as to the surroundings. It's time for us to do something to protect our school and prevent her from being polluted.
First, we must make great efforts to clean up polluted water and stop further water pollution. Ask the government to maintain and improve present facilities, and construct new project with health, safety, and protection of the environment as primary concerns.
Second, we must insist that water pollution control laws be passed and strictly enforced. This responsibility extends also to members of the general public in our surrounding community. An important aspect of this responsibility is making ongoing water quality. This is of such importance, that is must be given precedence over operating productivity.
Finally, we can also protect ourselves against polluted water. We should take measures toclean
the polluted water. To cooperate with government, industry and academia is supporting research and maximizing benefits for the general public in safety, heath and environmental matters.
We hope you will give us a permission to carry out he project and donate 5,000yuan we need. And we also require you to make a report to ask for the government’s rescue. By doing so , we will be able to live a healthier and happier life.
Yours sincerely,
Liu Wei
