Not long ago, I visited a local museum with the theme of VISION AND GAZE. It was about oil portraits collected in Tokyo Fuji Art Museum. Every painting from the Classical period was drawn exquisitely as well as elegantly in soft colours, such as ultramarine, olive green and so forth. However, the paintings from the Roccoco period were much more thick and heavy in colours, which made it dizzy to watch. In the duration of the visit, I heard some people making a comparison between oil paintings and Chinese ink paintings. From my point of view, both of them are unique as well as charming. While oil paintings are much more colourful, Chinese ink paintings are profoundly subtle. At the sametime, implying the unique meaning in the specific image is the similarity they show. I not only admired the beauty of oil paintings, but also had a deep insight into the nature of art which is more than a depiction but the creativity of humanity.

Hello native English speakers. The bears have been left wanting though, with earnings reports thus far in 2013 topping expectations.(original) Question: Is the original grammatically correct? I guess the original = Some people made the bears in bad conditions (such as lacking healthy eating or comfortable habitat ) , but the people who obtain large profits from the bears report that as far as 2013 is concerned ,these bears were in better conditions than what they (the bears) are expected. Is my guess correct according to the original? I don't know why the word "far" in the original is used there? and what is its meaning?

English students, try this 😁.

Dear English learners, Do you guys ever find yourselves splitting hairs over something? If you've never heard the above idiom before, be no longer a stranger to it. Splitting hairs is used by us, native speakers, in situations we believe are arguing about trivial matters. Whenever you find yourself arguing with someone over something unimportant, you can say: "let's just stop splitting hairs here". Let's stop minding small business.
