Speaking exercise

I don’t know them so that’s the first time for them to paint rock colour paintings. That’s a challenge of me. My challenge is that I need to teach them in different ways because everyone should paint different paintings, but they don’t have experience to paint rock colour paintings. But, this time I would let them paint small paintings because they have no experience and they should understand the basic artwork before painting rock colour paintings.

At beginning, I didn’t want to go to SC, but my professor asked me to teach them and nobody want to go to SC because the first reason is SC is too far from SH or BJ. Now the whole country is not very safe. The second reason is that, they want to involve the other works such as exhibitions, competitions. They prefer to paint more paintings. They don’t want to go out to teach. The most important reason is because this course is very difficult. This group of people is the teachers in primary school, but they have no experience because this is the last step of rock colour paintings.
