let us enjoy Theatre



On October 1st, 1928, Tennessee Theatre had its first opening for public in Knoxville downtown. It was designed by Chicago architects Graven and Mayger with Spanish-Moorish style interior. The internal style incorporates French-style chandeliers, Italian terrazzo flooring in the Grand Lobby, and Asian influences in the carpet and drapery. Today’s Theatre provides us the classical music, vintage films, dance, Broadway, and stellar performances…

On Monday, we watched a concert there with our classmates in the afternoon, which was organized by our English teacher as an outreach activity. The manager of theatre told that there would be another free concert from children symphony orchestra in that evening. It is a very good opportunity to bring our 1.5 years old son and my parents to experience those events. They enjoyed a lot of the performance and the internal style. The performance is quite impressive from different children symphony orchestra.

I do think it is not an easy task to achieve the consistent and accurate performance by so many children. I admire them and hope my son would learn from them.

Unforgettable experience

Last week, i and my roommates went to the Great Smoky Mountain Skiing. We drove about one hour. When we reached the top of the mountain is 7 in the evening, we looked at the White Mountains and ski people. We are very excited. We were a little scared because we didn't have the experience of skiing, but we still tried. The first time we slipped from the top of the mountain, we fell so many times. but we didn't give up. slowly we learned how to ski. we got fun too.
