①Hobbies are great ways to spend your time. Some hobbies can even change the way you see the world. Let's take painting as an example.
②When you're painting, you should pay attention to the colour. Think for a moment about what colour clouds are. Did you think white? Take a closer look at them next time. Clouds are mostly white, but the colours also include black, grey, yellow, pink and even blue. It depends on so many factors(因素), like what time of day you are looking at them, the kind of clouds or the angle (角度) you're looking at them. At sunset, you'll see many colours in clouds but you won't see at mid-afternoon.
③Painting is also a great way to notice shapes(形状). One of the easiest ways to paint faces or objects is to break them down into their relative shapes and combine them together. Everything in the world can be broken down into things like circles, squares and triangles. It's like putting pieces of a puzzle together as you're creating your painting.
④If you take up painting, you'll see more colours and shapes in the world. You'll notice small influences(影响) of colours in the evening and will be able to break anything down into their relative shapes. So everything is more beautiful than ever. In this way, hobbies introduce us to a new world.
A. achieve B. in return C. up to D. pay more attention E. better |
