28、00 pieces. “Pottery used to play an important role in the daily lives of Chinese people.” school head Ma Guoxin told the reporter. “By pottery painting, the students can improve themselves in many ways.

Wang Zixuan, a student from Grade Eight, with little knowledge of painting, painted a beautiful ni
30、ght scenery on a piece of pottery. It was so nice that many students loved it. Almost every classroom has colored pieces of pottery. They are either used as flowerpots or pen containers (笔筒).
