A. David Hockney - A Bigger Splash / exhibition / masterpiece / home in LA / vivid / admirers / I couldn't take my eyes off it

When I think over this question, I'd like to say David Hockney's art. The name of the masterpiece is "A Bigger Splash". I went his exhibition last year with my friend and I saw it there. When I saw it first time, I couldn't take my eyes off it. The art described a home in LA and the color was really vivid. It was so eyecatching. As far as I know, the home in this masterpiece is his relatives home and he was fascinated by LA when he went there first time. After that, He became an admirer. This art makes me feel better when I'm in a bad mood so it's priceless for me. I really want to buy this masterpiece if it's possible.

 

Q. Describe a place near the water that you enjoyed visiting.

• what you did there

A. San Francisco / The Golden Gate Brdige / in terms of / picturesque / breathtaking / memorable / be fascinated by / I couldn't take my eyes off it.

where -> why did you go there -> what did you do -> why it was enjoyable I'd like to describe about San Francisco which I visited a couple of years ago with my friend and which is located near by the ocean. I went there on a trip for celebration and relax because I and my friend have just started our working. When we searched about the San Francisco, we found that the Golden Gate Bridge is really popular and beautiful and It would be so amazing when we go there by bicycle. So we rented bicycles and went there by bike. I was so impressive because the bridge was so picturesque and the view was breathtaking. I couldn't take my eyes off there. At the end of the bridge, there was a village. As far as I know, it was a rich people's village. There are some big houses and in terms of tourist's sight it was stunning. I was fascinated by the village and the view of there. The trip was so memorable and I really hope go there again.

We just jot our job -> we have just started our working. 

I went there for traveling -> I went there on a trip

by bike : 자전거를 이용해
