Why force students to yawn                             [with Skype, over a textbook, increase in, some of her students, more likely, with their digital pen-pals, with their English-learning] when a real-life native speaker is only a Skype call away?

In European art in the late 18th and early 19th centuries there appeared a group of artists who followed their feelings and           rather than logical thought or reason, and who preferred wild, natural beauty to things made by man.

Pablo Picasso became one of the most famous modern artists, working in many different styles from delicate pastels to striking Cubist        where he wasn’t trying to create lifelike pictures. He distorted space and broke things up into angular        . This style became known as Cubism.

At the beginning of the 20th century in Germany there developed         known as Expressionism. Expressionist artists use exaggerated shapes and         to try to convey feelings, as in the works of Edward Munch .

Abstract art became         in the 20th century. It doesn’t mirror real people or things, but is an             of shapes and colours.
