Dear marry
How are you i am writing to tell you about the great film i saw last week at the cinema I went to see titanic with my sister
Titanic is a romantic film which was directed by james cameron however it's also about a disaster it stars leonardo dicaprio and kate winslet
The film is about the sinking of the ship titanic on its first voyage the main characters are jack dawson and rose dewitt bulkater jack saves rose from killing herself during the journey on board the ship although they are from different social classes and rose is already engaged they fall in love the film has sad ending the titanic sinks and more than a thousand people die in the disaster including jack

Yours Mai
IX. Read the film review, and decide whether the statements are true (T), or false (F), and tick the correct box.
Have you ever read Alice In Wonderland, by Lewis Carol? I did and I really like it. It’s an adventure story full of magic and danger. Yesterday I saw Tim Burton’s version of the film at the cinema.
This story is about Alice, who is now a teenager. A man wants to marry her, but she runs away and falls downa rabbit hole. She travels to Wonderland, which she has visited before as a child, and meets a lot of amazing characters on her adventures.
There are a lot of good special effects in the film. The Red Queen, played by Helena Bonham Carter, is very scary, and Johnny Depp is brilliant as the Mad Hatter. He has acted in a lot of films before but this is my favourite one. Mia Waslkowska is good as Alice; this is her first big film and I think she’s going to become a big star!
Overall, I think this is a good film for teenagers, but it’s a bit long. You should see it if you like fantasy and adventure, but don’t go if you like romances: it’s not a love story.
