With Grade12!

On December 23 we had a dinner with the Grade 12 students, it was a really fantastic experiment. First, we met in front of GCA at 6 o'clock. After a keen discussion,we decided to go to "Tacos"---------the Mexico restaurant in Zhujiang Lu, because all the members in my wanted to try this kind of food. We went there by bus,unluckily the traffic was so heavy that when we attended there,it was a half past 6 already.

It is a fashion restaurant, the atmosphere was quite romantic and the slowly music made us feel very comfortable. I asked a piece of chess cake, one cup of soup and some snails. The cake looked nice and was put in a beautiful plate, everything was so cute that I was unwilling to eat. In fact, it was really delicious and since it was freezed a little, it tasted cool and unique. The soup comes from Mexico which is traditional. It tasted a bit sour , when you ate with special bread, the tasty became nice and I'm sure I will never forgot! How about the snails? Well, at first I was a afraid of these insects and my classmates laughed at me. In order to prove myself, I tried one~ The tasty was hard to say, I mean may be it doesn't fit me.

These food was quite different from the food I usually eat. They were cooked in different ways, they were made of different spices, and the tasty was totally different. Though the food tasted a little strange, the service was nice and thoughtful and the price wasn't expensive. There were also many foreigners, and it seemed that they enjoyed themselves very much. I think I would recommend others to eat there because of the fantastic environment and service, I 'm sure you will have a great time!

Critique of Wu Weishan's exhibition

Last time, we went to look at a sculpture exhibition in Nanjing University. It was called "The artworks of human", they are all contemporary sculptures about different people. They were made by Wu Weishan---------the excellent artist which is famous not only in China, but also in the whole world. We call him the wonder in sculpture boundary.

In my opinion, the most beautiful sculpture is the "Sleepy boy", Wu made it in 1998 when he visited one of his friends and the expression of the child attracted him, so he soon decided to do a sculpture for the little boy. Mr. Wu used peaceful shapes and simple lines to show the real expression of the lovely child by using different ways of technique. If you touch it, you can fell that it is almost smooth, hard and cold because of the nice clay he used. Since its colour is black, it made people fell calm, because this colour represents grave and sacred. The subject of this artwork is a child.Through the work we see how lovely the child is and his expression is so gentle.Look at his opening mouth,only children will have this act.I think the most successful thing is that the artwork shows the innocence of child.

This artwork made me fell relaxed, because of the subject. That made me think of my childhood, when I was a child, did I have the same lovely expression? This is what I want to know. It also reminds me of my little sister, she also had this expression when she was young. The child looks so relaxed and that makes me think of a warm day. Also through that I can feel the natural beauty of humans. I think the artist wants to show others the wonderful things in the world and to show that how perfect and free our childhood is!

My classmates like the artwork very much, because first of all it is very lifelike. On the other hand, the innocent and pure which the child shows is the spirit what we need! It can change our moods, too. For example, the closed eyes are so cute that we all can't wait to touch it. I think other people might also appreciate this work, because it doesn't add other things, just shows the true thing he saw first.This is the spirit of art, and it can surprised people's hearts by showing the natural beauty.

Luckily, when we left we saw the famous artist and we took photos with him. I think this is the most exciting thing and we also got his sign. He is a nice man, he seemed to be happy with our visit.

He said he hoped we could learn something from this activity.

In a word, this exhibition is wonder and we really enjoy it very much.
