3. Traditional Chinese painting is not a true-to-life version of natural beauty; rather, it is an imagist art form that expresses/depicts how one perceives nature.

5. The cultural center still has no bathrooms. The nursing home, a whitewashed building sits on the edge of town, still unopened. Together, they account for some $470,000 of debt owed to the bank.
