Hello, everybody. Today, I'd like to share with you something about John Audubon. John<br />was born on April 26, 1785. He spent much of his childhood in France, where he spent<br />many hours each day outdoors painting pictures. At the age of 18, he moved to the United States.<br />Well, actually, John began his life in the U.S. as a businessman. However, instead of<br />taking care of his business, John was often off exploring nature. At first, John spent<br />his time hunting for fun. Then he found that the animals around were very beautiful, and<br />he particularly enjoyed observing the birds he saw. He began studying them, trying to<br />learn the differences between the birds and noticing their different behaviors. Therefore,<br />he painted the birds he observed a lot. In 1819, John realized that he didn't have enough<br />money to pay his bills. He was very upset that he couldn't earn enough money to support<br />his family, so he spent time improving his painting skills and began to sell his paintings.<br />He discovered that he could earn some money while doing something he really enjoyed. We<br />are lucky now to have so many paintings of American birds by John Audubon.<br />Hello, everybody! Today, I'd like to share with you something about John Audubon.
