Last month, I came across an elderly craftsman in a bustling street near Yu Garden. Sitting on a small stool, he was carefully shaping colorful clay into vivid figures—everything from legendary heroes to lovely pandas. His wrinkled hands moved swiftly, yet every movement was full of patience. Sample A crowd of curious tourists and local kids gathered around, watching in amazement. Some even asked him to make their own portraits. The old man smiled but sighed, “Few young people are willing to learn this skill nowadays. It takes years of practice, and they think it’s not profitable.” Sample Hearing this, I couldn’t help but feel a pang of loss. This art form, which has been passed down for generations, is gradually fading away. It’s not just a craft; it’s a living piece of our history and culture. Sample In my view, we ought to take action before it’s too late. Schools could invite artisans to give workshops, and social media might help spread the charm of clay figurines. Otherwise, this beautiful tradition will vanish, leaving only photos and memories behind. We must treasure what makes us who we are. Sample Update my to-do list Work in groups to check if you follow the steps of avoiding repetition. Share your writing within your group.
