As everyone knows, it is Jingdezhen in Jiangxi province where the local porcelain (瓷器) is highly desirable that is the center of world porcelain. Last year, my school held a two-day research activity,     1     (guide) by the slogan, “Exploring ceramic (陶瓷的) culture, traveling through ancient and modern times”.

On our way to Jingdezhen, our guide introduced     2     (we) to the basics of porcelain production. Our first stop was the Museum of Chinese Ceramics, which has     3     unique and exquisite collection of porcelain made from materials such as clay (陶土) and stone.

The guide told us the great achievements in ceramics from ancient times until today. I listened carefully to everything.     4     (date) back to Neolithic (新石器时代) period, clay was used to make pottery (陶器),     5     people used to carry water and food. Today, we still use porcelain but our pottery is     6     (real) far more beautiful than the products of those times.

    7     the second day, the team leader took us to a small DIY porcelain factory. Under the guidance of the teacher, we     8     (give) some clay and the chance to design a piece of pottery. Although our efforts were not as beautiful as the articles in the museum, they were our own work. The two-day activity was     9     (enjoy) and meaningful. I learned a lot about porcelain and     10     (make) an item on my own. It meant a lot to me.
