Watch an exhibition at a gallery

Last Saturday afternoon, 10—F Kevin, Jack, Wynn, Frank huang and I vested a gallery in Confucius Temple pinjiangfu road. We saw many Impressionism pictures there.
Impressionism was a 19th-century art movement that began as a loose association of Paris-based artists exhibiting their art publicly in the 1860s. The name of the movement is derived from the title of a Claude Monet work, Impression, Sunrise (Impression, soleil levant), which provoked the critic Louis Leroy to coin the term in a satiric review published in Le Charivari.
Characteristics of Impressionist paintings include visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on light in its changing qualities (often accentuating the effects of the passage of time), and ordinary subject matter, the inclusion of movement as a crucial element of human perception and experience, and unusual visual angles.
The emergence of Impressionism in the visual arts was soon followed by analogous movements in other media which became known as Impressionist music and Impressionist literature.
Impressionism also describes art created in this style, but outside of the late 19th century time period.
In that day many people visited there to buy some pictures drawn by some unknown artists. Some of the pictures are copy form famous artist and some of them are original.
I like these pictures very much and I can tell Ms.Hadley if it is necessary.

Eat at western restaurant

Last Saturday, 10—F Jack, Wynn, Kevin and I went to a western restaurant at 1912 block. It is called Knights of Round. We meet there at about 12 o’clock. But we had to wait for a long time because it is a famous restaurant and a lot of people stand in a line there. The only things we can do are sitting outside and talk about my birthday and what would we eat that night.
Finally at 12.15, we got into the restaurant and had a seat. The seats are very tall and it is just like knights all around a big round table. So I think this is the reason why this restaurant is called Knights of Round.
Everyone ordered a set meal and every set meal has a soup, a salad, a beefsteak, a cup of drank and a dessert. Before the meal we got for cups of cocktail for free. It is called aperitif. The four cups were inside a big bottle with carbon dioxide ice in it. The aperitif was very nice. The Cream of Corn Soup is wonderful too. But the Caesar Salad is so-so. Despite of this my favorite food was the medium well filet steak. The ice coffee is not so good. The chocolate cake was too sweet.
On all accounts this restaurant is pretty good and I want to eat in there again.

volunteer log

in 30Th DEC 2008. Jerry ,Charles and i spent the whole afternoon of the last day of 2008 helped ms.Hadley to accessorize the art room. we rip out the old pictures form the wall put some new artwork which are draw ed by students in GCA Grade 10. we found a lot of beautiful work in these pictures. at the same time, we told to ms.Hadley something about Chinese words and names. she also told us some strange facts of the last name of western people. after 3 hours work. i felt very comfortable because the art room was as big as new.

in 14Th March. Some 10-A,10-D students and i help ms.Hadley to cut a huge number of paper in the art room. we spent over 2 hours cut the paper. the papers were so big that we had to cut them three times and we must cut it very carefully becouse the papers were so soft that even use a littel more force, the paper would be cut very bad. in the end we had cut at least 100 pieces of paper i felt very tired.

Swimming
On 28th Jan. When I was travelling in Bali. I spent the whole after in the swimming pool of the Hard Rock hotel. The swimming pool is so big and beautiful that I was swimming and playing water ball for nearly 6 hours. I started swimming at about 1 o’clock in the afternoon. I swam around the swimming pool and watched the other people played the beach volleyball on the manmade beach. After a long distance’s swimming, I felt a little boring but when I saw some children from Hong Kong was playing water basketball with my cousin, I swam to them at once, and picked the ball, then shoot the ball to the goal near one side of the swimming pool but it was not good. The ball landed on the manmade beach and l asked someone there to through the ball to me………. After 5 p .m, I felt a little tired and I went the other side of the swimming pool to have a rest in the water. I just lied on the surface of the water for several minutes. Then I went to swim again.

Badmintons
On 2th Feb. Bill, James, Jerry, Kevin (10—C) and I went QingHuai sports centre to play badmintons. We spent about 4 hours on 2 count and 2 hours for each count. As you know Kevin is in badminton Club. He is good at playing it. Bill does well in this, too. When I play with them I always lost the game. Jerry is a little shorter and he did not play it well. So I can easily win the game with him. But James, I played with him for about half an hour and both of us did not win. During the 4 hours activity. I felt my badminton skill is not very good but I still want to join the club because this can help me improve my badminton skill.

we eat at a resturant called hellow italian,as the name suggests it is a italian resturant. i like italian foot very much,eapecially minestrone ,

pasta and Caesar Salad . in this case i also ordered these three things. as you know the italian foot is very expensive, except the food i also ordered a galss of beer, the italian like to drink beer very much and i like it ,too. these four things cost me 124rmb. although it is expensive but i like to eat these food, we sit in a very big tabble and use the dinner cloth fill up under the plate. we use fork in the left hand and knife in the right hand to eat food. if i had enough money i would also order T-Bone Steak,this is my favourite main food and eat this need a lot of skills to use fort and knife. i hope next time i can eat in this resturant again, the food there is very delicious.
