1. (错误)Wang Yani was born in 1975 in Gongcheng, China. Even when she was a baby, she

loved to draw lines everywhere. Seeing this, her father decided to help her. He gave her paint, brushes and paper. She practiced hard and improved very quickly. Soon her lines became

flowers, trees and animals. Some of her pictures were shown in an art exhibition in Shanghai at the age of 4.

By age six, Yani had made over 4,000 paintings. She loved to draw animals, especially monkeys and cats. Although her father was good at drawing, he didn’t give her any art lessons.
