During the hot summer， we often go to the beach in nice swimsuits. Now， a swimsuit with the Dunhuang mural patterns will make you surprised！

The swimsuit draws a deer pattern on its front. The idea is not from the designers， it is from the mural The Deer King. People found the mural in the cave of the Mogao Grottoes.

Right now， you can buy the swimsuit on Dunhuang Taobao.

Seeing the success of the Palace Museum， many more Chinese museums learn from it and also try to work with Taobao to introduce their cultural and creative products. In this way， more visitors experience the national treasures in a better way.

“By working with Taobao， we make more new products. We hope to combine traditional culture and modern fashion together. So， the visitors， especially young people， will be happy to know more about the Dunhuang culture，” said Shi Mingxiu， the curator of Dunhuang Museum.

Qipao is a one-piece Chinese dress that was born in the 17th century. It was traditionally made of silk， a comfortable cloth. The style of the qipao has developed over the years and people still wear qipao today because it shows the unique beauty of Chinese women.

The qipao was wide and loose in the past. It would hide a womans body， except her head， hands， and feet. In the 1920s in Shanghai， the qipao was updated and became popular.

The qipao now is more fitting. It has a high cut on one or both sides. It may be sleeveless and made of different materials， not only silk.

Now， people do not wear qipao every day. They usually wear qipao on special occasions， like weddings or parties.

假設你們年級正在舉辦一場時裝秀來展示大家的風采以及對“fashion”的認識，請根據下面的幾個要點問題，寫一篇100詞左右的英語短文，介紹一下這場時裝秀的情況。

要點問題：

1.When and where do you give the fashion show？

2.Who are going for the fashion show？

3.What clothes do you see at the fashion show？

4.What do you think of their designs？

There is a fashion show in Grade 7. The fashion show begins at about 6 p.m. on Monday. Many students and teachers will go for the fashion show.

Sandy is wearing a white cotton sweater and a blue scarf. Daniel is wearing white sports clothes and blue trainers. I think his trainers are light and comfortable. They are fit for a long walk. Sam looks smart in a white shirt and a pair of blue jeans. I think white shirts look clean. I like his design best because the shirt is comfortable， and jeans are popular among students.

I like the fashion show.

本段的時態需要重新思考，可以關注上下文和題目中的第2個要點問題。

句與句之間可以增加一些連詞，增強文章的邏輯性，讓句子之間的銜接更自然。

建議多角度評價模特的著裝，比如可以從衣服的搭配和顏色的匹配度入手。最喜歡Sam的設計的理由不夠自然。

結束語部分建議使用生動的詞匯和句型來表達自己對此次時裝秀的喜愛之情。

Its 6 p.m. on Monday. The Grade 7 students are giving a fashion show at the school hall. Many students are wearing clothes designed by themselves， and some of our teachers also join in the show.

Were excited to see many different styles of clothes at the show. Sandy looks modern in a white cotton sweater and a blue scarf. Daniel is wearing white sports clothes and blue trainers. Im sure he loves sports. How cool he looks！ Also， his trainers are light and comfortable. I think they are fit for a long walk. Sam looks smart in a white shirt and a pair of blue jeans. The white shirt matches the blue jeans well. I like his design best because white and blue make him look clean， and jeans are really popular among students.
