Question

【题目】Answer the questions （根据以下内容回答问题）

Kayla was excited. She was beginning a pottery（陶瓷）class. Kayla was interested in pottery. She had seen pictures of American Indian pottery at school. That was when she decided she loved it. So now she was going to learn how to make pottery herself.

During the first class, Kayla and the other kids leaned about safety. There were several sharp tools in the classroom. There was also a kiln, or over, that got very hot. So everyone had to learn what the safety rules were. Then, their teacher showed them how to work the clay（粘土）. For the next few classes,Kayla and the other kids practiced different styles of pottery.

Finally, it was time for the students to make their own pottery. Kayla decided to make a matching plate and cup. She got the clay she needed and used a tool called a potter’s wheel to fashion the clay into the shape of a plate and a cup. Then, Kayla used some tools to give the plate and cup their final shapes. She made a handle for the cup, too. When the cup and plate were shaped, they were left to dry.

When the plate and cup were dry, it was time to paint them. Kayla used paints for clay and created her picture. When Kayla was finished, the paint was allowed to dry. It was then time to fire, or bake, the plate and cup in the kiln. This would take some time, so the teacher said that they would see the pottery at the next class. And it was! Kayla’s cup and plate turned out beautifully, and she couldn’t wait to show it to her parents.
