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.
