Recently, there is SH International Film Festival and every year the movies are old. I only watched one or two movies. Some old movies, there are only a few people to go watch. They limit the audience and a part of the seats is used by tape. There are many movies which is not popular in the movie festival every year. This movie are from some small countries.

Guide the way and give the maps or some materials to the visitors. It was very hot, but that time I enjoyed because I felt fresh and very excited. Most of my classmates were joined it. There were lots of volunteers and they are from every university in SH. We almost walk every museum. Each part is from different countries and Denmark museum and Indian museum have things from their culture.

There quite rare exhibits painting.

Revised: 

Recently, the SH International Film Festival is running/back again. Every year, they would show/play old movies. I only watched one to two movies. Since they only have old movies, only a few people went to watch. They limit the audience/limit the capacity and some seats were taped. There are many movies which are not popular but are featured in the movie festival every year. These movies are from some small countries.

I was the tour guide/lead the way and handed out maps and some materials to the visitors. It was very hot, but at the time I enjoyed it because it was a new experience so I was very excited. Most of my classmates also volunteered. There were lots of volunteers and they come from all universities in SH. We almost walked by every exhibit/booth. Each exhibit is from a different country and the Denmark and Indian exhibit displayed/showed things from their culture.

Exhibitions featuring old/classic Chinese paintings are quite rare.
