With the definition of the arts lending itself to the expression of human creativity, its limits are defined only by one's imagination. Common examples of the arts include painting, music, literature, and dance. For this particular unit, the inspiration came from the school's book fair, which took place earlier in the academic year. 

随着对艺术定义的不断演变以适应人类创造力的表达，其限制只能由个体想象力来界定。绘画、音乐、文学和舞蹈是常见的艺术形式。本单元灵感源于学校早些时候举办的书展活动。

Written by Teresa Robeson, an award-winning author from the United States with ancestral roots in China, 'Two Bicycles In Beijing' tells the story of two bicycles who watch the world go by in a bicycle shop until their untimely separation, which leads to an adventure around the capital city intending to become reunited once again. 

《北京两辆自行车》是美国获奖作家Teresa Robeson所写，她具有中国血统。故事讲述了两辆自行车在一家商店中目睹世界万象，并因为不合时宜地分离而展开围绕首都的冒险之旅，最终再次相聚。

It allowed the students to link their personal experiences to the story through the sights, food, and other parts of the local culture and explore different literary tools. From understanding the core features of stories to constructing book reviews, the students understood a story's typical structure and features and how a story's content can divide opinions and link to personal experiences. 

该故事让学生将个人经历与风景、食物及当地文化等其他方面联系起来，并探索各种文学工具。从理解故事核心特征到构建书评，学生们了解了典型故事结构和特点以及如何区分观点并将其与个人经历联系起来。

In addition, the students learned about personification (the act of giving inanimate or other objects human qualities) by using the bicycles from the story as their main impetus. 

此外，通过使用拟人化手法（赋予无生命或其他物体人类品质），学生们还从故事中主要角色——自行车身上汲取了知识。

Beyond the confines of the classroom, the students also had the opportunity to write to Teresa Robseon to learn more about her as a person and an author and her inspirations for writing the story. Her responses did not disappoint, with one suggesting she could create a new book set in Hong Kong soon. In addition to her written responses, she was very impressed with the class's exhibits for the recent exhibition, and she even sent the class a hand-signed plate and postcard.

除了课堂内部限制外，学生们还有机会给Teresa Robseon写信以进一步了解她作为一个个体和作家以及撰写这个故事背后灵感来源等更多信息。她回复令人满意，并提议未来可能会创作一本以香港为背景的新书籍。除书面回复外，她对班级最近展览所呈现出的成果印象深刻，并寄送给班级一张手写牌和明信片。

We would like to thank Teresa Robeson for her support throughout the unit and wish her the best of luck with her future endeavours. 

我们非常感谢Teresa Robeson对整个单元活动的支持，并祝愿她未来一切顺利！
