As traditional Chinese art,paper cutting has a long history. The first and earliest paper cutting was found in China 1,500 years ago. But this traditional art is at risk of disappearing now. Luckily,Voyo Woo,a Chinese immigrant (移民) in America,is trying to bring this art back to life.

One Saturday in 2014,Ms Woo held a paper cutting show at a shopping center near Washington. She got much fun and peace doing it. She hoped more people would enjoy it.

Ms Woo began to study the art of paper cutting as a 14-year-old girl in her hometown in Chi-na. She said all the students at school had to learn paper cutting. But she had a deep love for it. So her teacher spent more time teaching her after class. Later,she won the second prize in a national painting and art competition. Ms Woo went to America after she finished college in 2008. Soon after that,she took part in an activity to promote(宣傳) Chinese paper cutting. And then she was invited to show the art in many important activities. "lt is important to promote this art to Americans or anyone who is interested in it. Maybe it will make this art more popular. ” Woo said.

From the art of paper cutting,people can know about Chinese cultural values,history and stories of people's life. Ms Woo uses the art as a tool to show Chinese culture to people who know little about it. Chinese art is not only for Chinese,but also for people all over the world.

Dear Julie,

You should talk to your sister more. Ask her to play the piano only when you’re not studying. Let her borrow your things only if she asks you first. Perhaps she just wants more attention from you. Try spending some time with her every day and you’ll both learn how to live happily with each other.
