Vincent Van Gogh
Born in the Netherlands in
1853, van Gogh led a simple life in a small town until the age of 16. He then
left school and joined a company of art business in the larger city. During the
next seven years, van Gogh bought and sold paintings in the Netherlands, London,
and Paris. He eventually realized that dealing with others' artwork was not his
dream. He soon discovered that his dream was to become an artist himself.
He spent much of his time
in learning the basic skills of drawing. He believed that to become a great
painter, one must first master the ability to draw. It was only after he was
comfortable in this area that he began to use oil paints. That is when van Gogh
developed a style for color that made him one of the most respected artists of
all time.
Van Gogh's paintings are
amazing representations (代表) of his view of the world.
He used his brush and oils to make layers that built the painting until it was
almost three-dimensional (三维). This quality makes
people want to reach out and touch the painting.
Perhaps one of the most
memorable examples of van Gogh's use of color and brush style is his painting The Starry Night. The sky swirls across
the canvas (画布), while the stars glow
with unearthly brightness. Each brushstroke (笔画) creates the movement and
lights. Under the sky rests a village painted with smaller strokes and finer
detail, giving the impression of peace. A large tree in the foreground suggests
that the view is enjoyed from the top of a hill, which offers a glimpse of the
majesty (庄严) of the night sky. The Starry Night displays the gift of
van Gogh's ability to create a powerful image with simple brush and oils.
Van Gogh spent only the
last ten years of his life painting. Yet van Gogh today is considered one of
the greatest artists of all time. His influence is strong; many painters mimic
his style and use of color. His artwork can be found in museums all over the
world.

Jane has studied chimps formany years and helped people understand how much they behave like humans. Mostimportantly, she did all this in the dangerous rainforest instead of labs.Nobody before Jane fully understood chimp behaviour. I think it must be herpersistence and bravery that contribute to her success. And this is just what Ineed in my life. Besides, Jane's greatpassion for animals and selfless devotion to her study attract me. I can'tbelieve she had wanted to work with animals in their own environment since herchildhood and she has never thought of giving up. Having read Jane's story, Imake up my mind to keep going no matter what difficulties are in front of me. Jane Goodall inspires me tobe a person like her. So, I admire her most.
