Thang-ga (唐卡)is a special kind of painting. It was found only in Xizang, China. It started from the Tang Dynasty. Thang-ga paintings show Xizang people's lives. In recent years, Thang-ga paintings have caught the public's attention. At the same time, the Chinese government has also tried hard to protect the art.
The colour of Thang-ga paintings looks wonderful and special. Because of the special environment of Xizang and the excellent skills of artists, the paints (颜料)used in Thang-ga are different from other paints.

However, with the development of technology, people now use cheaper and more easily-made chemicals to make Thang-ga paints.

Many of you should have heard of Tiangong Kaiwu. It is one of the greatest technological encyclopaedias written in Chinese. But how much do you know about its author, Song Yingxing
Song was a brilliant scientist during the late Ming Dynasty. He was born into an ordinary family in 1587 and had a happy childhood. He and his brother Song Yingsheng went to school together. Both of them were very smart. Song won third place while his brother won sixth in the provincial imperial exam (科举考试). Later, Song and his brother took the national imperial exam, but they both failed. They had no choice but to take up jobs offered to them by the government.
Song worked as a teacher for many years. Meanwhile, he attended the national imperial exam for another five times. Unluckily, he never achieved success. On his repeated trips to the capital to take the exams, however, he learnt about the different technologies that were being used in different fields. His wide knowledge enabled him to create Tiangong Kaiwu in the 1630s.
The name of the Chinese encyclopaedia refers to humans'making good use of the wealth of nature with the help of technologies. The book covers more than 130 technologies of farming and manufacturing. The explanations are clear and detailed. There are also many pictures to help with the understanding of the text. The encyclopedia became popular soon after it was produced and sold to the public.
The Ming Dynasty fell in 1644, but Song and his brother refused to work for the new Qing government and gave up their jobs. Song lived a poor life until the day he died. In his final years, he wrote many articles and poems against the Qing government. Tens of years later, some Qing officials found these articles and poems. They were so angry that they destroyed all of Song's works. Luckily, Tiangong Kaiwu had already spread to many other countries, though it wouldn't find its way back to China until the end of the Qing Dynasty. Finally, Chinese people were able to marvel at this great scientist again.

参考范文：
Dear Sir/Madam,
Learning that the student union is looking for volunteers, I'm writing to apply to become a volunteer.
First, I want to be a volunteer because I love traditional Chinese culture and I enjoy sharing it with others. I believe it's a great chance to introduce our wonderful traditions to foreign friends.
Traditional Chinese culture is rich and meaningful. It is not only a treasure of our nation but also a bridge that connects people around the world. I am truly proud of it.
As a volunteer, I can teach foreign students how to make paper cuts. I have learned paper cutting for three years, so I am good at cutting different patterns like animals and Chinese characters. I can also help them understand the stories behind each pattern.
I hope you can give me the chance. I will try my best to be a good volunteer.
I'm looking forward to your early reply!
Yours,
Li Xin
