On my way home, I noticed that people were talking about pictures
hanging on the wall.
I noticed that pictures were hanging (悬挂) on the wall.
Mona Lisa
Da Vinci painted Mona Lisa in 180
5.
It’s a piece of art ( 艺术品) .
Can youappreciate (鉴赏)

They appreciate pictures critically (批评地) .
curtain materials窗帘材料
My friend’s house
Whether ( 是否) the curtain materials are good or not?
Can he really read newspapers?
He is pretending to (假装) read newspapers.
The best art critics
Who? Why?
pretend to be?
Para 1 I am an art student and I paint a lot of pictures. Many people pretend that they understand modern art. They always tell you what a picture is 'about'. Of course, many pictures are not 'about' anything. They are just pretty patterns. We like them in the same way that we like pretty curtain material.
Para 2 I think that young children often appreciate modern pictures better than anyone else. They notice more. My sister is only seven, but she always tells me whether my pictures are good or not. She came into my room yesterday. 'What are you doing?' she asked. 'I'm hanging this picture on the wall,' I answered. 'It's a new one. Do you like it?' She looked at it critically for a moment. 'It's all right,' she said, 'but isn't it upside down?' I looked at it again. She was right! It was!
