The handicraft I am going to talk about is the paper-cut one. Before almost every Spring Festival, my mom would buy piles of paper cuttings to decorate the home. They would be pasted on the windows and the entrances to bring good luck. But this year, I decided to make the decoration all by myself.

　　這個考題本身較難，要想描述清一個手工藝品的制作過程著實不易。所以，我們在選擇所要描述的對象時一定要避重就輕，選擇一些容易描述的。在這里，選擇了剪紙也是處于這樣的考慮。這段描述一開始開門見山，接著在進入正題前先回顧了一下歷時，講述了從前母親用剪紙布置房間的經歷。

　　A master of the craft can cut out different drawings freely only using a pair of scissors. But I didnt venture to do it that way. I googled the pattern I wanted before printing it out on a piece of red paper. It was the character Chun. Then I used an engraving knife to cut out the pattern. And an amazing piece of folk art emerged.

　　在描述制作過程的時候幾乎沒有用什么很專業的詞。我們千萬不要到網上去查一堆資料然后把所有的專業描述統統塞到腦子里去。最優的策略是繞開所有的難點。此外在這里還把藝人的剪紙方式和我的方式做了一個對比。

　　It was easier than I had thought. I only spent half an hour doing all the printing and cutting.

　　前面的論述已經較為充分，所以第三個問題用了兩句話帶過。

　　After the festival, I fell in love with paper cutting. The craft is not difficult to learn, although it is very difficult to master with perfection. Also, it helps to create a merry atmosphere on special occasions, such as festivals and wedding ceremonies. Furthermore, paper cutting, with which people express wishes, is one of Chinas most popular folk art. It is a piece of art that helps to preserve traditions.

　　最后一段從三個方面論述了我喜愛剪紙的原因。其中fall in love with的表達方式可以用來替代love, like。最后的一個詞組preserve traditions值得大家學習，在很多藝術類考題中都能用上。
