Describe a movie:
What Who
When Why
I want to talk about titanic. I saw it last year with my brother. I liked it because it was so exciting. Eg:
Well, so the topic on my card is to describe a movie , and I suppose I would have to choose titanic to talk about, which , you know, was a huge hollywood success. Just in case you haven’t watched it yet, it was a romantic love at first sight story which happened between a rich girl and a poor guy on a ship which was about to sink towards the end of the movie
Subsequently, I am asked to talk about the time when I watched it. If I remember it correctly, it was in 1997 when I was still a university student. Every classmate was talking about it and I finally made this huge decision to spend my precious money on a ticket which was so expensive to a student like me at that time, but it was so worth it though
I went to the movie with my classmates, and I would have been overjoyed if my boyfriend at the time could have joined us. However, the military unversity where he did his studies was so strictly-disciplined that leaving it was almost impossible.
In spite of that, I did enjoy the movie a lot due to the following
reasons. First of all, the screenwriter did a great job with the story, which was so touching that the viewer were laughing and crying with it. In addion, the actors did their parts so brilliantly that we forgot that they were just playing their roles. Lastly, the movie effects were fairly well-done and it seemed that we were brought back to where the titatic actually sank
So that is why I enjoyed the movie and I hope I can see it again in the near future.

2) Time 2: I had always wanted to visit the Tiananmen square since I was a little kid and finally my friends and I got this chance when we were making a business trip in beijing Samples:
I’d like to tell u about a football match I participated in.Itwas held when I was working for my last company.
The competition was organised by a national football association, and teams from all over the country came to my hometown to compete. The other member of the team were all my colleagues, who either worked in different departments or were more senior managers than I was. Most of us were quite out of shape, and a few players were getting a bit too old to be competitive. Our main concern though, was our goalkeeper, mark, who was absolutely aweful.
2 weeks before the competition, we all started training together. And on the very day of the game, we all arrived at the football arena quite early and we all waited nervously for the matches to begin. Looking at the other teams, we felt a bit intimidated because they looked way fitter and better-built. Anyway we played the group matches and surprisingly we didn’t lose at all. Instead,we drew a few games打成平局 and and even won a couple. The most unforgettable goal was scored quite unexpectedly when the match was about to close. One of our aggressive opponents’s players got sent off被罚出局for making a foul 犯规and then my teammate passed the ball to me who smashed it into their net just before the referee blew the whistle
Needless to say, it was pretty a fun day for me and actually for all of us, and this is one of the most important reasons why I chose this experience to share here today with u
