Question

【題目】

Most people around the world agree that pandas are smart and cute animals. But can they draw? Can they do anything special? I believe they can. These days a panda becomes a popular star and attracts many visitors to the zoo.

This female panda is called Yang Yang. She comes from Vienna Zoo, Austria. Now she can use a brush to create her works of art. People like her paintings very much and 100 of them are waiting online for someone to buy at $580 each- yang Yang’s paintings will probably help the zoo to make $58,000. With the money, the zoo will have the chance to publish (出版) a new picture book about the pandas in Vienna Zoo. The plan will certainly come true because Yang Yang enjoys painting and can draw more pictures.

Two years ago, Yang Yang became a mother of twin pandas. She is a smart mother and learns to draw quickly. Many visitors would like to visit the zoo to see Yang Yang’s wonderful painting shows. They make people think of the first attempts (嘗試) of a small child.

You never know, with such an amazing talent (天賦), this cute animal may be able to become a great artist!
