Learning to Make Dough Figurines
Last week, our art teacher took us to visit a craft shop to learn about dough figurines, a traditional art form in our textbook. The shop owner, Mr. Li, is a 60-year-old 11 of this craft. He welcomed us warmly and showed us many 12 dough figurines of cartoon characters and traditional heroes like the Monkey King.
At first, I thought it was easy to make one, but I was wrong. Mr. Li gave each of us a small piece of coloured dough and some 13 tools, like a small knife and a rolling pin（擀面杖）. He taught us to make a little rabbit first. I tried to shape the dough into a rabbit’s body, but it was too soft and kept 14 flat. I felt a little 15 and wanted to give up.
Mr. Li saw that and came to help me. He taught me to press the dough 16 and told me to be patient. “Dough figurine making is not about speed,” he said. “It’s about care and love.” I followed his words and tried again. This time, I moved my hands slowly and 17 every step carefully. After 20 minutes, my little rabbit was finally done. It was not as perfect as Mr. Li’s, but it was my first work. I felt so 18 of it.
All of us made our own small dough figurines that day. We 19 our works with each other and took photos with Mr. Li. Before leaving, he told us that traditional crafts need young people to pass them on. This trip let me know that every traditional art is a treasure. It also made me want to learn more about Chinese crafts and 20 them to more people around me.

Our school opened a Traditional Art Corner last term to let students get close to Chinese cultural heritage and learn traditional craft skills. The corner is on the first floor of the art building, and it is open to all students after school every day. 36 We also prepared all kinds of simple tools, such as scissors, coloured paper and dough, for students to use for free.
Many local craft masters volunteer to come to our school and teach us skills in their free time. 37 They also tell us the history and cultural meaning of each craft, which helps us understand traditional arts better. For example, a paper-cutting master once taught us how to cut a dragon pattern and told us it stands for good luck in Chinese culture.
38 At first, most of us just went there to watch the masters make works, but now we all like to try making them by ourselves. Some students are good at making dough figurines, and some create beautiful paper-cuts. We even set up a small shelf in the corner to show our best works.
We have gained a lot from the activities in the Traditional Art Corner. 39 We also learn to be patient and careful, because making a good traditional craft work needs attention to every small detail. More importantly, we start to love our traditional culture more and want to be the inheritors of it.
40 We will hold a craft fair in the corner next month, and we plan to invite students from other schools to visit and exchange ideas with us. We believe the Traditional Art Corner will become a more wonderful place for us to know and spread traditional Chinese arts.

Chinese bamboo weaving is a special traditional craft with thousands of years of history in southern China. Bamboo grows fast and is easy to cut, so ancient people learned to use it to make daily things early. Skilled craftsmen cut bamboo into thin and soft strips, then weave them into different objects by hand, such as baskets, mats, tea sets and small decorative toys. Each piece needs careful control and rich experience, making it full of the warmth of handwork.
In the past, bamboo weaving products were necessary in everyday life. Farmers used bamboo baskets to carry crops and families put food in bamboo containers to keep it fresh. As time went by, this old craft was less used in modern life and some young people even knew little about it. To save the skill, local governments build experience centres and hold weaving lessons for students. Some designers also turn simple bamboo works into creative gifts with modern looks.
Now bamboo weaving is not only a daily tool but also a cultural symbol. More tourists come to learn basic weaving skills in local villages, and lovely bamboo works are sold to many foreign countries. This common but great craft shows the wisdom of Chinese people in using natural materials and is becoming a new star of Chinese cultural heritage.
46. What is special about the material of Chinese bamboo weaving
47. How do craftsmen make bamboo weaving products according to the passage
