English is becoming more and more popular in China.It can be used in every field,such as on some signs and restaurant menus.But there are some problems when people use it.Perhaps you've seen the English letters "WC" in your city.They show public toilets.But do you know it is far from native(地道的)English?In fact ,foreigners from English-speaking countries seldom use the letters.
      Workers in our city are changing "WC"signs all over the city.The government is spending much money changing all the bad English on signs and restaurant menus.Many other places in China are following our steps.
      "WC,or water closet,is old-fashioned English.It sounds dirty to me,""says Nancy,a young woman from the US.The old sign will become"Gents/Men"and"Ladies/Women"."I see much poor English in everyday life,and not only on signs." she says."I know what they mean.But they are Chinglish,not real English.For example,when someone says to me' My hometown is Guizhou Province'.I know he or she should say ' My hometown is in Guizhou Province '.Hometown is a smaller place in a province."The common mistakes that Nancy picked up include" Not Entry",which should be " No Entry", "Direction of Airport"should be changed to"To the Airport ".And it is" Room Rate",not"Room Price".And remember to"Keep off the grass",rather than"Care of the green".

  • 2.Chinese traditional paper cutting is an art of cutting out pictures from paper with the help of a pair of scissors or a knife.In 2009,the Chinese paper cutting was added to the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity (人類非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)代表作名錄).
       Paper cutting originated (起源) in China,which is thought to have begun in 4th century with the invention of paper.But long before that, ▲,Chinese people already used similar skills to cut on leaves,leather and silk.Therefore,it' s really a long art form that has been practiced in China through many centuries.
       The subjects of the paper cuttings can be anything,from historical events and fairy tale characters to plants and animals.The paper cuttings are so vivid that they look like real ones.Paper cutting may sound easy,but actually it's difficult to do well.
       Modern Chinese artists have never stopped trying in different ways.Li Baofeng is a 54-year-old folk artist. "Traditional paper cuttings are often made with red paper,which seems to be a little boring.So I want to make something new," says Li.She has made works in different colors which have amazing effects.
       By combining the techniques (技藝) of traditional paper cutting with modern computer-designing,artists today can produce 3 D paper cuttings.They also use more techniques such as chromatic printing (彩色印刷),woodblock printing (雕版印刷) and air brushing (噴繪) to create livelier works.
       Through centuries,Chinese paper cutting has also been introduced into many other countries in Asia and Europe.Now more and more people love paper cutting works and buy them as gifts for their friends.
