Now work in pairs. Read the quotes from the passage and answer the questions.

For the three artists, their inspiration all comes from their lives and experiences.

2. Why do you think the author chose to use quotes instead
of reported speech in the passage
“During the walk and my stay here in the town, I saw
the fish being fed by people. …”
“There is no territory in the world of music.”
“I feel very grateful for the years in Xishuangbanna, …”
