Bout Reading

     
I liked reading when i was a child. In primary school, reading was my only hobby. I read a lot of novels. Among those stories, Pride and Prejudice was my favorite. How beautiful the love story of Darcy and Elizabeth is, and i always dreamed that i was the heroine of the novel and i could have this romantic affection in the future.

 

However, when i grow up, reading is more and more far away from me. I can't remember when i do the last reading and the last book i read. In my mind, reading requires a calm heart and a peaceful environment, but unfortunately i don't have neither.

 

Movie is my favorite entertainment. I'm not the big fan of movie, but when i was in China, i would go to the cinema every week. I like affection film and action movie. But I can't watch the dracula movie and suspense film. The movie that moved me most is 'One Day', which played by Anne Hathaway. It talks about a sad love story. A man and a woman had a deep relationship. They kept contact during more than 10 years. Even though they had boyfriend and girlfriend in this period, they still cared about each other. Finally, when they overcame all obstacles and got together, the women die in a accident. I saw this movie in the plane. I remembered that i couldn't stop crying although i knew it was very embarrassing.

 

Watching movie in America is not very enjoyable in deed. Because there is no subtitle, it's hard to understand the entire story. Sometimes i just guess, and sometimes i will sleep in the cinema (Actually i did it when i watch 'Bat Men 3'.........)

Nevertheless, watching movie is a good way to practice listening and understand idioms.

  4. That was a touching and funny post Julia! I'm sorry you don't have a calm heart and peaceful environment for reading right now. That made me sad, but I guess I can relate. I feel about the same way right now.

  5. It is so funny to know that you slept when you watched Bat Man 3, because I have three female friends who had the same situation with you. They said that they slept during the movie time (3 hours. I like action movies and really hate sad movies, yet I maybe will try to watch "One Day".

  6. It's Jojo. I faced to the same situation with you when I watched movie in the Us. It was hard for me to understand the entire story because they spoke too much slang. But I hope it will help me to learn more about American accent.
