经典语篇
假如你是一名中学生，一个名叫杰克的美国交换生来中国过暑假。你邀请他去你所在的城市参观国画画展，可他不想去。因为他不知道如何去欣赏和理解中国画。请你写一封电子邮件建议他跟你一起去。词数100左右。 佳作欣赏 Dear Jack，
I just saw an advertisement for a special free exhibition of Chinese art at the Beijing International Exhibition Center.It’s not far from your hotel，so I think that after dinner we could walk to the center and that you could get to know a little about Chinese art①.
The exhibition has been organized especially for the Olympic Games in Beijing so there are some volunteers to help explain the art to visitors.In front of the center there is a club where many people from around the world often gather together to talk about art. After we go to the exhibition，we could go there for a cup of coffee

of Chinese paintings: figures，landscapes，flowers and birds，and folklore.So you see—you don’t have to worry that you’re not familiar with Chinese art.That doesn’t mean you can’t understand pictures—remember，art crosses cultures!
