CET 6 笔记----After the quake,there is love ,there is hope

The Deyang Earthquake Museum opens Tuesday to mark the first anniversary of the May 12 quake. Among its exhibits will be a painting…..We saw some paintings by kids,themed “Green Earth”and “World Full of Love”.While we were retrieving the paintings,and idea struck me:”Why not auction the paintings and donate the proceeds as relief for the survivors?”       “The paintings gave me a chance to contribute my humble share. it’s not an ordinary painting but one that carries tremendous love”says Zhang.That’ a tribute to the spirit of the students. Our efforts promoted former British prime minister Tony Blair to sign three of the paintings,immensely increase their auction value.A female artist have emailed us,saying they are going to fly to the quake zone to help the kids overcome the trauma….Jao is very happy to see our efforts attract so much attention and support…..About ten volunteer teachers taught English at the school ,and held classes in public speaking,presentation and  debating skills,and even singing. And they help build confidence among the traumatized kids.they are all well educated.About 500 students ,almost about half of who were pulled out of debris of the school ,About 300 students were not as lucky,and perished in the quake.
