Culture notes and information about the pictures:
Culture notes: Applying the traditional aesthetics(美学) of ink-wash painting, ink-wash animation represented a great artistic breakthrough for Chinese animation, but very few such films were ever made due to the resources required. From 1961 to 1988, Shanghai Animation Film Studio produced four ink-wash films. The first, Tadpoles Looking For Their Mother, whimsically (异想天开地) depicts (描述) tadpoles meeting different animals while searching for their mother. The last, Feeling from Mountain and Water (山水情), is a lyrical (抒情诗调的) masterpiece about an elderly musician and his disciple(弟子).
The stories behind the pictures:
Picture 1 is from The Cowboy’s Flute. I have seen this animation before. It has no words but is guided by the music. It is like an ink wash painting coming to life.
Picture 2 is from Tadpoles Searching for Mother. It was the first ink wash animation film and was influenced by the work of painter Qi Baishi.
Picture 3 is from Feeling from Mountain and Water. It is a lyrical (抒情诗调的) masterpiece about an elderly musician and his disciple(弟子).
2. Learn about Chinese cartoon films.
Chinese cartoon films combine Chinese ancient painting, Dunhuang murals, murals (壁画) in the Yongle Palace and colorful folk arts, like shadow play, paper-cut, and paper-cut for window decoration, and have developed cartoon film types like puppetoons(木偶片), ink-and-wash films and paper-cut films unique to China. Therefore, Chinese cartoon films are unique to China not only in content but also in form.
In 1960, ink-and-wash animated films appeared in China and caught the attention of the world as a breakthrough in the forms of expression and aesthetic conception in animated films. Children’s films in this period employ colorful means of expression. The special effects in the science fiction and fairy-tale films unfold a brand new world for children.
Tadpoles Searching for Mother received the Best Animated Film Prize at the 1st Hundred Flower Awards and five international prizes. The Cowherd’s Flute was awarded the Golden Prize at the Odense International Fairy Tale Film Festival in Denmark (丹麦).

4. Listen to the presentation once more and tick the signpost words that you hear and reconstruct the text.
1) Introduce the listening strategy—listening for signpost markers
Signpost markers are phrases and expressions that are used to tell a listener what is going to be talked about next. Speakers use signpost markers when they want to introduce a new topic, to start a new point, to give an example, to summarise, etc. By listening for signposts, you will be able to follow what is being said.
Where to put signpost words? At the beginning of paragraphs to help transition from paragraph to paragraph, and inside paragraphs to help transition from one supporting detail to another or elaborate (详尽阐述) upon supporting details.
2) Go through the signpost markers and then listen to the presentation once more and tick the signpost words.
Introducing the topic—Today, I’d like to talk/speak (to you) about…
Starting a point—Let me/Let’s start by… and Let’s turn now to…
Summarizing the points—In short, …
3) Reconstruct the text by summarize the main content of the listening material.

A sample for reference:
Introduction
Welcome the audience: Good morning, everybody. Welcome to our presentation.
Introduce the subject: I’m very excited to have this opportunity to talk about one of my favorite pieces of art. It is called The Starry Night and was painted by Vincent van Gogh in 1889.
Main body
Background of the work of art
First, let me tell you about the background to this painting. It shows the French town, Saint-Remy-de-Provence at night. It is based on the view from a window in a hospital where Van Gogh was a patient. Sadly, he suffered from health issues throughout his life, and his work only found fame after his death. Although it shows the view at night, Van Gogh painted it during the day from memory. He also painted other versions at different times of day.
Description of the work of art
This is an oil painting on canvas. One can immediately tell from its features that it is a Van Gogh painting. For example, the swirls (旋动) in the sky show Van Gogh’s distinctive painting style. The curled dashes of bold colour can be seen in many of his works. The moon and stars are big and yellow. This was Van Gogh’s favorite colour.
