广东省潮州市潮安区雅博学校2021届九年级上学期英语第一次月考试卷(含听力音频)
Calligraphy(书法)is one of the most traditional forms of art in China. It's part of our culture. Since Sept. 2019, more than 20 schools in Rongcheng District (区), Jieyang have given calligraphy classes to their students. The new course is now popular with the students. Here is what they said about it: I think the course teaches us to write standard Chinese characters(汉字) in a proper way, using the right gestures. I advise making calligraphy a necessary subject in the primary school so that we can start to learn it at a young age. —-Li Yuhui Although we are in an information age when many things can be done on phones and computers, still we should go back to handwriting by using brushes and ink. The lesson not only provides me with a good chance to learn Chinese art, but also makes me pay more aattention to my handwriting. Calligraphy is well worth learning. —-Xiao Ronglan I am glad to find my handwriting improves after taking the lesson. Now I spend about half an hour practicing calligraphy every day and it has become one of my hobbies. One thing which surprises me is that I also become more patient. That's out of my expectation. —-Wu Duanhua Our school sets up the course mainly to carry forward the traditional art. I don't consider itboring or useless. Instead, it's interesting and meaningful. I really enjoy the beauty the Chinese characters bring us. —- Mo Linwei |
The 14-year-old girl Susan Davis is having a party. At this party, there are neither cakes nor candles. There is only a room full of art supplies(供应品)and many kids she never met. And all the kids are homeless.
Susan got the idea last year after her school. She worried that kids who could not afford their own supplies would give up drawing. So she started writing letters to big companies to ask for help. Then the girl received lots of donations(赠品)from some of the biggest art supply companies. Susan collected more than $3000 in supplies, enough to make a home for kids to paint their own watercolors.
By far she's held three parties. What she did was encouraged by the White House. Susan received the President's awards(奖赏). Now Susan does it for a different reason— to get the poor kids to enjoy art.
