eat ltalian food

December 18, l went with my classmates to eat Italian food with grade 12 mentors; we ate at Jack's place, a famous Italian restaurant in Nanjing.l decided to eat Italian food when l heard our class plan to eat western food together. Italian is famous for pizza; the traditional pizza must be different from the pizza we eat at pizza hut. It is also different from American or Japanese food, which we can eat in daily. Trying a new type of food is the goal I went there.
I arrived there at about 6 o’clock, the restaurant is not much big, but very clean and warm, music has been playing while we are eating. There are few people in the restaurant too.As soon as l sat down, the waiters came and gave us the menu, we each choose the food. We decided to eat potato salad, mushroom tower and pate noodles. We four ordered a pizza together.Italian food is different from Chinese food. I like it very much. it has more cheese and taste more sweet, but not all of them are sweet, like mushroom tower, it made of meat and mushroom, it taste salt and inclusions cheese, give me very special feeling.In Chinese, we usually eat rice and sometimes eat pasta, but in Italian, they usually eat pasta and almost never eat rice, for us, eating bread or noodles everyday is absolutely a hard thing. There is also different eating habit between Chinese and westerner. In china, we usually eat soup after we finished dinner, but in western country, they usually eat soup first.
I think the most difference between Chinese and western eating habit is we do not eat flour food as our staple food. In northern china, people do more likely to eat flour food, but we made them different kind, like steamed bread, noodle and seed cake. In western, people made them as all kinds of bread. Western people also eat meat and vegetables like us, but they hardly use oil to cook food .actually, l think, even Italian food is delicious, l cannot eat it often, I still miss rice

visiting exhibition

A few weeks ago, my classmates and I went to look at an art exhibition, it is called Wu Weishan cultural figures sculpture gallery exhibition, it shows the Chinese cultural figures sculpture, it was very traditional artwork and made all by Wu Weishan.
Wu weishan is a famous artist, he has earned many awards and has a great impact in international .There are many sculptures in the hall ,people were in different forms, standing, couching or other kind of form, single moment were catch ed by the artist and perfect reflected.
The name of my favorite artwork is "Ah Bing”, it was made in 2007.The artist uses hard lines to sculpt the shape of the character. With a small number of lines, the artist portrays a complete out line of the shape. It not symmetrical everywhere but looks very smooth. The artwork has an image of an old man who wears a hat and embraces a musical instrument, slanting his face slightly and inclining his body, his eyes closed because of blindness and he can be seen wearing a loose robe. His robe looks bronzed and his face and hat are colored with deep blue, as the color of rock. The artist sculpts Ah Bing as he finished one day's work and prepares to go home; his face reveals a manner of vicissitude and a determination.
When l saw the artwork, l find it is new to make musical instrument integration in the robe, no one is currently using this kind of technique. it is like Erhu is become part of his life and can not be separated .As soon as l saw it, l started thinking about the history of Ah Bing.he experienced much misery in his life, he is very poor and blind, through the hardest times he never gave up music, his life is committed to music and created many famous music.
When l was in primary school, l studied Erhu for a few months, but for some reason, l gave it up, this is one of my biggest regrets and l admired him for his determination. The artist may have the same feeling as me, l think he wants to commemorate Ah Bing's contribution for music and expression his aspect for the old man.
l like the artwork very much, the glittering quality of Ah Bing attracted me. his love of music and strong will deeply moved me , the artist sculpted him elaborately , it makes me think real Ah Bing is standing towards me.l think other people will also like the art work ,because everyone enjoys seeing beautiful things and glitter quality will make people respect.
