Part 2&3  An object that you think is beautiful答案及解析_雅思口语练习「新东方雅思官方网校」

An object that instantly comes to mind that strikes me as really beautiful is a painting my friend Jayne has in her house on the staircase wall. It's a painting of a field of tulips – I think it's in Holland. It's a huge field of pink and red tulips stretching out into the distance, with a cobalt blue sky above it. It's a particularly beautiful painting because of the way the painter has captured the light. I think that he must have been painting the field in the morning, as the morning sunlight, cast its light across the field and onto the flowers – the light casts shadows and brings out the brightness of the flowers – they almost come alive in the painting. Almost as if they are moving or about to move in an incredibly light breeze. I think the painting is especially beautiful for two reasons – firstly because, as I've described above, it's a fantastic painting by an excellent oil painter, and secondly because I am especially drawn to nature and paintings of the natural world. They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and this is very much true in my opinion – I am never attracted to abstract or even impressionist works of art, I find immense beauty in the simple natural, still lives and pictures of landscapes, mountains, fields, lakes and trees. So, it is true that beauty, and the perception of beauty, really is decided by personal opinion and personality. I think that paintings are more beautiful than photographs, because we know they have been created with the care, dedication and talent from a skilled painter, who has patience, calm and diligence. I think this also adds to the beauty of art – thinking about how much talent and effort went into creating the piece. 

I don't think so. There are simply different beautiful things, or different developments in the world of creating beautiful things. There is less natural beauty than in the past because humans have destroyed a lot of natural environments. On the other hand there is more beautiful art and architecture because we have developed richer traditions from more globalized societies. 

There are lots of scenic spots of great beauty in China. It's a vast country so there is beauty in mountains, valleys, even desserts and lakes and places of icy cold – to jungles and rainforests, tea plantations and even quaint ancient towns, set amongst rivers and hills. There's a lot of scenic spots. The list is almost endless! 

Usually in countryside locations or in places where there are mountains and lakes. These are the most picturesque places. Some people see beauty in the modern world as well as the natural world – people who love to enjoy city architecture, both modern and old-style might be drawn to places like Shanghai, which have curious mix of both traditional, modern and international architecture. Some find great beauty in those kinds of things too. Others prefer temples, landscaped gardens, parks, or places of simply pure natural, untouched beauty. 


Human beings are always drawn to things of beauty. It's a natural instinct for humans to want to see and be in places that are beautiful. I have no idea why people are drawn to these things, but because of this, they are attracted to create things of beauty as well. Artists, architects and everyday people, all in their own different ways, enjoy creating beautiful and attractive things. I think it makes people feel positive and look on the bright side of life.
