Who is this short film introducing?
Writing
3a Read a text introducing a famous artist. Then fill in the timeline below.
My favourite artist is Vincent van Gogh. He was born in the Netherlands in 1853. It was not until he was 27 that he decided to become a painter and began studying art. Van Gogh went to stay with his brother in Paris in 1886. There, he experienced the bright colours of famous French painters. This was when van Gogh developed his famous style—using short brushstrokes of thick paint and bright colours. After moving to the countryside two years later, he painted his most famous works,
including Sunflowers. With a painting like The Starry Night, we can see colours, imagination, and energy in van Gogh’s work. He was able to show the passion and feelings inside himself like few other people before or since. Sadly, he died in 1890.
I like van Gogh because he showed passion and energy in his life. I like him also because he loved nature and painted it in all its beauty.

三阶 成篇章 赏美文
开篇直接点明主题,简洁清晰
He was born in Spain in 1881. When he was 15 years old, he entered an art school in Barcelona. In 1900, he first visited Paris. There he began to learn about modern art. He is known for his special style — Cubism. He broke objects into geometric shapes and showed different angles in one painting. One of his most famous works is Guernica. In this painting, we can see his strong feelings about war.
用“When”引导时间状语从句, 点明具体时间
“break...into...”是形象化表达,比“used”或“painted”更具画面感,让读者在脑海中“看到”物体被拆解的过程。
用 “because”引导原因状语从句,表达自己喜欢Picasso的原因
用“but”形成转折对比。“肉体会消逝(died),但精神永存(still inspires)”的对比,是结尾段最经典的写法。
I like Picasso because he was never afraid to try new things. He changed his style many times in his life. He died in 1973, but his creative spirit still inspires people today.
