Thang-ga(唐卡) is a special kind of painting. It was found only in Tibet, China. It started from the Tang Dynasty(唐朝 ). Thang-ga paintings show Tibetan people’s lives. In recent years, Thang-ga paintings have caught the public’s attention. At the same time, the Chinese government has also tried hard to protect the art.
The colors of Thang-ga paintings look wonderful and special. Because of the special environment of Tibet and the excellent skills of artists, the paints( 颜料) used in Thang-ga are different from other paints. They were made from minerals like gold and silver, as well as some plants. The paints were made by hand and the beautiful colors could last for hundreds of years.
However, with the development of technology, people now use cheaper and more easily-made chemicals to make Thang-ga paints. The traditional paints used in Thang-ga paintings took a lot of work and they were made in many secret ways. Later people stopped making the paints and forgot about them. So the skills needed to make them were almost lost. The traditional Thang-ga paintings are difficult to find now.

Dear Maria,
How are you?
My life has changed a lot since I became a student of Grade 9.
Yours,
Liu Mei
Two years ago, when I was teaching at a middle school, my student Mary came to my office to ask for help. She found someone write a very bad message on her locker(储物柜) but she didn’t know who did it. She took a picture of it. A few hours later, I noticed that she had posted that picture on the school website and asked if anyone knew who did that. The following day, Mary came to me with Peter, a boy in my class. She showed me a note she had received. It was a heartfelt apology(真心的道歉). I asked her if she knew who had done it, and Peter replied embarrassedly(羞愧地), “It was me. I don’t know why I did it, but I know it was wrong. So I wrote her this note. I just wanted to do something to try to make up for my behavior.” My heartfelt so full of pride for this. I told him how brave he was to come forward and how amazing it was that he did something kind to correct his mistake. I turned to the girl and asked her if she could forgive(原谅) him. Without thinking twice, she said, “Yes.” They both showed bravery and kindness in a special way. Although I was a teacher, my students really taught me a lot. |

Some people say that western festivals are getting more and more popular in China. As a result, Chinese traditional festivals are being neglected(忽视). The two stories below tell you what is going on with people’s favorite festival.
I moved to Shanghai ten years ago, and my hometown is a small village in Hebei Province. When I was a child, the Spring Festival was the biggest event of a year. I loved this festival best because there was a lot of delicious food to eat. Now things are different. We celebrate not only Chinese festivals but also many western festivals like Christmas, April Fool’s Day and so on. The Spring Festival is still my favorite festival, but with so many festivals to celebrate now, it is not as special as it used to be. Wu Qiang, Shanghai |
I am a 15-year-old middle school student in Foshan. If you ask me what my favorite festival is, I think it is Christmas. In the school, most of my classmates get excited about this festival. Usually my friends and I would start to plan the activities two weeks before Christmas Day, and we may hold a party or sing songs together. This year there will be a band show in an outdoor square. We are all looking forward to it. Also we would prepare each other a Christmas card on that day. My parents can’t understand why Christmas is so popular among young people. I don’t know how to say. But my friends and I really have fun in it, and it is out of fashion if we don’t celebrate Christmas. Lily, Foshan |
