He is going to find out about some of the Louvre's most amazing treasures. okay, excellent. Thank you. Very good. He's going to find out the amazing treasures in the Louvre.
Speaking of which, do you know something about the Louvre? Let's take a fun quiz here. okay, first of all, how many works of art are there in the collection? Just take a wild guess. How many? Guess. C. Good try. okay, the answer is B. okay, so there are around four hundred thousand works of art in the Louvre. So it may take us a lifetime to enjoy all of them. And second, which works of art are among the big three attractions in the Louvre? You can refer to the pictures down here. A, E, E, E, E, D. All right, now let's take a closer look at this big three here. All right, now please read after me: Winged Victory of Samothrace, the Winged Victory of Samothrace, the Winged Victory of Samothrace, Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, Venus de Milo, Venus de Milo. Will Zach introduce all of them just today? Maybe we'll find out soon. okay, before we do that, let's just suppose we are now standing in front of an amazing artwork, say a painting. How would we describe it? How would we appreciate it? Appearance, appearance right? Hmm, so when you say appearance, you just tell us what we feel here right? okay, that is what comes to our minds. And now feelings, our feelings. okay, excellent. So that is what comes to our mind. okay, good job. All right, now I would like to present you with these three great works of art in the Louvre. Now based on sight and mind, choose your favorite one and appreciate it. Who'd like to have a try? Would you have a try?
生：okay, I choose the Mona Lisa.
师：okay, you choose Mona Lisa. Good choice. okay, now please tell us what you see here.
生：See a woman who seems like smiling but it's a mystery.
师：uh huh, her smile right? Right. okay, anything else? She's really mysterious right? okay, you have this kind of feeling. okay, good. Anything else? Anything else you want to say? No. okay, thank you. Thank you very good. okay, so what about a boy? What about this boy?
生：uh, I choose the Winged Victory of Samothrace.
师：okay, wonderful. What do you see here?
生：uh, I can see a woman with her wings unfolded. I just feel a sense of victory for it.
师：oh, you have this kind of imagination right? She's like celebrating something right?
生：yes.
师：okay, thank you. And let's give him some applause. okay, good job. okay, very good. And based on these two students, we have the expression right? The expression of the Mona Lisa, she's smiling, and the posture of this statue, or the sculpture, and then the feelings and imagination right? okay, so will Zach appreciate the works of art in this way? Let's find it out. okay, now this time please read paragraph two to four, based on sight and mind, underline some keywords. okay, no more than five. Here is an example for you: it's a huge sculpture and she's celebrating. After that, I want someone to come here and appreciate the artwork for us without referring to anything. okay, now please read paragraphs two to four. Please.
（过了一会儿）
师：alright, I noticed that most of you have finished now. Who would like to present Zach's appreciation here? Who'd like to? Do we have volunteers?
生：（一位同学举手）
师：okay, thank you. Come here please. Which one? Come here please. okay, so which artwork would you like to present?
生：well, I would like to choose Mona Lisa.
师：good, it's the classic one. okay, thank you. Start.
生：so we can see that Mona Lisa presents an elegant lady resting her hands on her waist, maybe. And apart from the marvelous skills of the painter, we can see what truly appeals to the visitors is that we can see her eyes, and it feels deep. And as the former student said, it's mysterious. Maybe one person who sees it will feel glad or some positive feelings, but others may feel that the woman is sad and wondering about something. Maybe so everyone has different opinions or different insights into this painting. That's why it appeals to many visitors all around the world.
师：okay, thank you. This young lady just told us her feelings right and her appreciation, not Zach's appreciation, but she has something in common with Zach right? You have some ideas in common with Zach. Excellent job. okay, how would you like to make comments on her performance? Do you like her performance, her appreciation?
生：yes. um, she showed the appearance, postures, expression and feelings of the painting. And she gave her opinion on the painting. And she also said what Zach thinks. So from my opinion, what she said was a good comment.
师：okay, I said you also have very good comments. okay, good. Thank you. Alright, um, actually, you did a very good job on this appreciation right. And that's something we are missing. okay, so when we, for example, when Zach looks at the first one, how did he say this? "Wow, look at the huge sculpture here." right? okay, what about the second one? "This is the one and only Mona Lisa, the painting." right? And the third one is a sound portrait. okay, so maybe when we appreciate some artworks, we need to tell people the type, yes right, the form of art right? okay, right. That is what you call the type or form of art. okay, excellent.
So based on these three artworks, are you curious about the stories behind them?
生：yes.
师：me too. okay, why not we find out together? okay, for this Winged Victory of Samothrace, what's the other name of it?
生：uh, Nike.
师：yeah, it's called Nike of Samothrace. Now I would like to invite someone to help me here. okay, who'd like to draw the logo of Nike for us now? Can you, young man? You know the sports brand Nike, right? Yeah. Can you draw Nike for us, the logo?
生：（一位同学上来画）
师：yeah, the sports brand right. okay, right. okay, like that. yeah, take a look. alright, okay, here put it here. oh, so big. good, excellent. Thank you. What about you? Draw another one, the opposite one like this on the left side. Draw another one like this on the left side. Yeah, yeah right. Yeah, can you? No, no, just here. Yeah, right, small space here for you.
（另一位同学上来画）
师：wow, excellent. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, what does it look like?
生：Wings.
师：Wings. Excellent. Wings of whom?
生：the Wings of Nike.
师：she is the goddess, right? She's the goddess representing victory, speed and strength. right now, you can see the sportswear logo Nike takes one wing from her. So it's very meaningful, isn't it?
生：yes.
师：yeah, right. okay, now what about this man who likes himself so much? So what strikes you when you read Zach's appreciation of this man? What strikes you? Something strikes you right? What strikes you? What is special about this man or about this painting?
生：he's really ordinary right?
师：yeah, but something, the number is really striking. What number?
生：ninety self - portraits.
师：okay, why? No one knows why. What's the explanation? Maybe he is taking a selfie. Yeah, he's very fashionable at that time. Maybe he was too poor to pay for a model. What's the reason? Zach may not know, but let's take a look. These are the three self - portraits drawn by him from a young age to an old age. What change?
