When talking about the UK,the first things that come to most people’ minds are Big Ben,the British Museum or Buckingham Palace.However,after my first visit to UK during the summer vacation,I think one thing should be added to the l 86 —street artists.
In York,a city in the northeast of England,I met a “purple man”.He was in the middle of the street and was pretending to ride a bike.The man was painted purple all over his body.He held a lovely little dog in his arms.
x05Most of the time,the “purple man” stood there w 87 making a move except to wave to passers-by now and then.When people went close to him,he would make fun of them by putting paint in their hair.Some ran away to avoid being painted while some accepted it with a smile.From the collection pot beside his foot,I could see that this was h 88 he made a living —by taking photos with tourists.
x05Another performer who impressed me was a man I met in Edinburgh.He stood quite still and was simply staring at the ground with several flyers (传单) in his hand.When a passer-by took a flyer,he would dance for a while and then stand still again.
x05Not all street artists are performing for m 89 .I saw another man just lying on the street; facing the ground as if listening to the earth.I guessed he was listening to the heartbeat of nature.
x05In my opinion,these performers just wanted to e 90 themselves in their own ways.Before I went to Britain,I had heard that the people there were quite serious and somewhat dull,always wearing dark suits.But what I saw on the streets changed my idea about them c 91 .These people are interesting and full of unexpectedly good ideas.They do what they want and don’t care about other people’s doubts or criticisms.
x05Seeing is believing—that’s another thing I learned from my trip,and from the a 92 street artists.
