(A)
I have always been interested in making things. When I was a child, I enjoyed painting but I also liked making things out of clay (粘土) . I won a prize for one of my paintings when I was fourteen. That may be why I went to art school four years later. But I studied painting at first not pottery (制陶). I like being a potter because I like to work with my hands and feel the clay. I’m happy working by myself and being near my home. I don’t like mass-produced things for they are made by machines and are all the same. I think crafts (手工艺) are very important and craftspeople make things cleverly with hands. They make our lives colorful. When I left school, I got some money. I hope to become a full-time craftswoman. This workplace is small but I wish to move to a larger one next year.
