The modern world is changing rapidly, shaped by new ideas in art, technology,
and how we use money.

creators now use computers and special software to make digital paintings and
animations. This digital art allows them to create vivid forms of art.
One of the most important great inventions and discoveries today is Artificial
Intelligence, or AI. AI is not just for scientists; it can also help artists by making
artworks and writing stories. Meanwhile, another key area of invention is green
technology. Scientists are working hard to develop new ways to protect the
environment and fight climate change.
When it comes to money, its form is also changing. Besides paper money and
mobile payments, many countries are now developing official digital currency. It
enables convenient and safe transactions in daily life.
In conclusion, from digital art to AI and new forms ofmoney, we are living in an
age of amazing creativity and invention. It is our responsibility to use these powerful
tools wisely and try our best to build a better future.

范文：
Dear Mr. Wang,
I'm Li Hua, an eighth-grade student. I'm writing to share my opinion on the upcoming
school activity.
Among the three options—school talent show, charity sale, and fun sports meeting, I
would definitely choose the charity sale. The reason is that it not only gives us a
chance to work together and practice communication skills, but also allows us to help
3
those in need. It can spread warmth and love throughout the campus, which is really
meaningful.
As for the activity, I suggest we set up stalls selling handmade crafts, second-hand
books and toys made by ourselves. All the money collected will be donated to a local
children's home.
I'm looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

You've probably never seen a movie quite like this one. Loving Vincent is the
first animated film in the world to be made entirely with paintings. Every scene uses
oil paint on canvas (画布). Twelve paintings were needed just to show one second
of the film. It took more than 100 artists seven years to complete it.
The movie has gotten good reviews since it came out on the Chinese mainland
on December 8th. Its box office (票房 ) earnings have reached over $20 million
(132.43 million yuan) worldwide.
The film tells the story of the final months of famous Dutch artist Vincent van
Gogh (1853－1890). The story is told through his paintings and the characters in them.
It shows his death as being part of a murder mystery, as Hollywood Reporter said.
A young man named Armand Roulin serves as both detective and storyteller. A year
after the death of Vincent van Gogh, Armand is instructed by his father, Postman
Joseph Roulin, to personally deliver a letter to Vincent's brother, Theo. Armand isn't
fond of Van Gogh, but to please his father he agrees to give the letter, travelling across
Europe to the town where Vincent spent his final months. When he finds that Theo
has died of a disease shortly after his brother, he visits several important people in Van
Gogh's life to find out the truth behind his death. He talks with Van Gogh's friend, a
doctor, and the owner of the hotel he lived in. But each person tells a different story.
There are many examples of the artist's work in the movie. It shows over 120 of
his paintings, such as The Night Café, Wheatfield with Crows, and The Starry Night.
It's no wonder Empire Magazine called it "one of the most beautiful films of 2017".
The real-life letters that Van Gogh wrote to his brother are shown as well. The
movie lets you see the real Vincent van Gogh in a different way.
( )50. Loving Vincent is .

appreciate it, as well as appreciate Chinese culture."
Raissa, 17, from the Union of the Comoros, sang the Chinese song Wish You
Safe and Well during the second-round competition. "It is also my sincere wish for the

could cure patients like the Chinese doctors who treated my grandmother," said
Raissa.

Chinese for four years, won as the champion. For him, the competition gave him a
chance to communicate with young people all around the world. "We should learn to
appreciate each other's differences," Germole said.
