VIP Class Notes (Nemo)[W]

Write about Yao Ming and tell me why he is unique

I’ve been to Dashijie with my classmates. We saw the performance in the hall. First, there were six people get five long sticks in one hand and there was one plate on each stick. They dance with the sticks and the plates. Second, there were four people throw the sticks and catch it. Third, there was a person who play holla-hoops. She can use her legs arms and body to play it. At last, she used more than twenty holla-hoops to put it around her belly and make them move. Fourth, there was a person who can put a bowl on his head. When the bowl is on his head he can walk like nothing is on his head. I think all the actors in Dashijie are very interesting because they can do something other people can’t do.
