Question

  

    Bullfights always take place in a round arena(競(jìng)技場(chǎng)). The most important characteristic of the bullfight is that the bullfighter has to fight the bull until he kills it with a sword. Each bullfight consists of three parts. First, the bullfighter fights with a cape（披風(fēng)）. When the bull, which is very strong, enters the arena, the bullfighter tries to make the bull tired by making it chase him. Second, the bullfighter’s assistant rides a horse up to the bull and tries to put a sharp stick into the bull’s neck. Third, the bullfighter uses a stick with a red cloth attached to fight the bull. This is a very difficult art. It’s in this part that the bullfighter has to perform the best because this is the time when people will judge if he is a good or bad fighter. This part comes to an end when he kills the bull with a sharp sword. He is considered a good bullfighter if he can kill the bull the first time he tries.

    Interestingly, the popular Sevillana dance is like a bullfight. The graceful movements of this dance show what the bullfighter does to the bull. In bullfighting, the bullfighter fights with the bull. In the Sevillana dance, the man (the male dancer) fights with the woman (the female dancer). The man imitates the art of the bullfighter and uses different poses that the bullfighter uses to fight the bull.
