Athena was born and raised in Ukraine. Her parents wanted her to become a lawyer or a doctor. But she always knew she wanted to paint. She also realized a career in painting would not be possible if she stayed in her country.
Even though she was painting in her whole life and it was her passion(热情)but it was only a hobby. And she never really took it to the next level because back in the country all the artists were hungry artists. So she knew for some reason she never took art as a career because she would never be able to make money and be successful in it in several years.
So. Athena came to the United States when she was 14 years old to pursue(追求)an American Dream. She was clear on her goal. Athena first worked at a health food shop. She began to paint on the shop's menu boards. A customer praised her skill and asked if she would help paint faces at street fairs. Athena says it was a good start. Then she went to FABAIC to start body painting.
Body painting is quite different from plain painting. And she loves it very much. She says. "With body, you work with the people factor and it's not only you. Maybe they want to talk or move, and they cannot stand still for several days while the painting will last three to four days. When I paint. I can't stop."
For thousands of years,poetry(诗歌) has been one of the favorite types of literature(文学) in China.There were many famous poets in Chinese history,and many of their poems are still read and loved today.
Recently,a popular TV show—ChinesePoetryCompetition has attracted many people.Now let's interview some people and listen to what they said.
I like Wu Yishu very much.She studies at the High School Affiliated(附属) to Fudan University in Shanghai.She came out on top.She can recite(背诵) more than 2,000 Chinese poems fluently(流利地).I really admire her knowledge of poems.She is tall and beautiful,and she always stays calm whether the questions are easy or hard. |
The woman that impresses(给……以深刻印象) me is Bai Ruyun.She comes from a village in Xingtai.She is a farmer.She is not rich and she is badly ill in hospital,but she has been so confident in herself since she began to read and recite Chinese poems. |
Among the competitors(选手),I like Wang Zilong best.He is 34 years old.He teaches Chinese in Shijiazhuang College.He said when he was only two years old,his parents began to teach him to recite Chinese poems. |
Do you know the young boy? He is Ye Fei,13,from Anqing No.Two Middle School in Anhui.In one competition,he answered all the questions correctly.Now he is a young star in his school because of his love of Chinese poems. |
