5.How are you getting on with your parents?

If you asked me that question when I was at junior high, it would be totally different point of view.

One of the happiest events in my life was when my family and I went to the Aquarium in Dalian. It is the biggest and most spectacular aquarium in Asia.

I was nine at the time and had had a very bad summer holiday that year, since I had to stay home for most of the break because I broke my leg. My Mom and Dad did not tell me about the trip until week before we left. When they first told me I did not believe them, but they finally convinced me that we were really going. The day before we left I could hardly sleep because I was so excited. We had done a lot of packing and preparing, but I still did not feel sleepy. Eventually when I did drift off, I had a dream about riding a dolphin. It took us about ten hours by train to get to Dalian. When we got there we got settled in our hotel and then had dinner.

The next day we got up very early and headed for the Aquarium. We saw so many different kinds of beautiful fish, exciting shows, and listened to interesting stories from the tour guides. My favorite was the dolphin show. The entertainers rode on the dolphin’s backs, and one entertainer even got flipped high into the air from a dolphin’s nose. I love my parents so much for giving me such a special opportunity and memories that I will cherish all of my life.

To talk about an artwork, I couldn’t help thinking a handicraft, which was made by myself. Haha. Can I call it an artwork?

It is a scarf I made for my boyfriend.

When I was in university, my classmates were crazy about knitting things. They bought a lot of books and materials for knitting, and everyday after class, they would stay in the dormitory and knit happily. At very beginning, I was not keen to it, and thought it was boring and troublesome. But when I saw their works, I felt jealous and began to join their team.

The scarf I made was white, simple and a little bit ugly, but really useful. My boyfriend appreciated me very much.

Knitting is a kind of folk artwork in china, which is popular by women in southern china. In the past, like 20 years ago, almost every woman knows how to knit and they will do it in their spare time. A lot of daily things, such as gloves, scarves, and sweaters, even socks were made by women. People didn’t used to buy them at all.

However, it is getting less and less popular, because of the fast development of machines and the greater pressure on the shoulders of women. Nowadays, only a few women especially the elder ones will do it in their spare time, which is really pitiful.

About a couple of months ago I saw an advertisement on the internet for a special pair of running shoes. It was the picture that caught my attention first because the shoes looked very different from normal running shoes. They were designed like a pair of gloves for your feet, if you know what I mean.

They were made from a special 'breathable' material and had a synthetic sole grafted onto the body so that they fitted like a glove on your foot, but the bottom was quite similar to a normal running shoe so that it gripped well and provided protection for your feet.

Unlike a normal running shoe each toe was separate. It was really strange to see something like that because I had just been wondering a few weeks earlier why someone hadn't invented a running shoe like this before - and then a couple of weeks later by pure coincidence I came across them on the internet. I wasn't even looking for them or anything.

Anyway, the ad was basically a 360 degrees color photo of the shoes, showing them from all angles and some technical and product information about them. There was also a video that was maybe 3 or 4 minutes long and showed a runner going up a rocky hill and the video explained how these running shoes allowed the runner to 'feel' more of the ground underneath his feet and grip better because of the flexing motion of the bottom of the shoes.

It was more an informative ad than anything arty or creative, but it made me want to buy the shoes because I hadn't seen them before and I wanted to try them, so I ordered a pair in my size and they arrived a couple of days later. I've tried them out a couple of times so far and they seem really good. They cost me just a little bit more than some of the normal running shoes, but I think they're worth the extra money. The running experience is quite different from normal and personally I prefer it.
