On Wednesday Wen Ting came in and taught us Chinese calligraphy.

                                                         First, she handed out magic paper and brushes. She showed us how to hold the brush. You had to hold the brush with your hand around into a fist and then put your thumb on the other side. Once we had done that, she showed us how to write yi (one), er (two), san (three), si (four) and wû (five.)

We had a lot of fun doing it. The weird thing was that when you wrote something, and then left it for a while, it would fade away. Wen Ting said you had to be quick when you were writing calligraphy. When I wrote calligraphy, I found that when I wrote calligraphy fast, it was very messy.
