What I Am Trying to Say was... !

I happened to meet a Vietnamese woman who loves fine art at a local cafe. She said her favorite artist is Vincent van Gogh. I was so happy because I, myself, am also deeply interested in his artwork. Therefore, I was going to tell her about the van Gogh exhibition in Seoul, but with my limited ability in English, I could not explain it well.

Ugh! None of the English words that I had so diligently studied, and which were inside my head, wanted to come out. They were just stick there, floating around lifelessly! What I had wanted to tell her was:

1. There is a Vincent van Gogh exhibition held presently in Seoul.

2. They are showing van Gogh's artwork by projection display on the ceiling and on the walls.

3. By projection, I mean that the artwork constantly changes.

4. Given that van Gogh is your favorite artist, I would highly recommend that you go to see this amazing exhibition.

Hi, Sarah. Good job! The changes that I made were to allow your sentences to sound more natural to my native ears, to clarify your ideas, and for ease of readings. I hope that this helps you. J.
