This time I want to share a film whose name is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. This film was on show at 2005. Even though it is not a fashion and new film, I believe the story of this film is wonderful. There is no doubt that this story is about the chocolate, and there is a genius chocolate producer whose name is Willie Wonka. He has the biggest chocolate factory which is very famous all over the world, but nobody can see Willie Wonka. The mysterious story is beginning. One day he announces a bulletin, and he has decided to allow 5 children to visit his amazing factory. The tickets are inside of the Wonka chocolate, and all the people buy the Wonka chocolate. Who will find the gold ticket?  Charlie is a getting last ticket child. He plays an important role in the movie. He lives in a big poor family, but his family is much warmer than other four children’s’.  There is not much money for Charlie to buy a bar chocolate, but his family gives a lot of love to help him to have a chance to get the ticket. I am moving of Charlie’s family.  Five children start the wonderful trip at the chocolate factory, and all the things are made of chocolate four of them are too exciting to self-control, but Charlie doesn’t lose his head because of the passing excitements. Finally, no doubt that he is the winner. 

 I learn a phrase--set in motion from this movie, and it means that something is beginning to change. I remember that Charlie’s grandmother said: “nothing is impossible!”  , and this sentence gives the energy to Charlie. If you have a dream, nothing is impossible for you to get the goal.

Today is another important festival in China, which is a part of the Spring Festival. It is a festival of lanterns, and it is on the 15^th day of the 1^st lunar moth.  The lantern festival symbolizes family unity, completeness and happiness. On this day, family members get together and eat white dumplings which are round rice balls. The white dumplings have another meaning about reunion. Do you know what are made of the sweet dumplings?  These are made of glutinous rice, and there are filling with red bean paste, hawthorn or black sesame.  I remembered my grandmother made some sweet dumplings for me when I was a child. Most old people know how to make of the sweet dumplings, and the sweet dumplings are traditional Chinese food. There are many different kinds of lanterns on the street from 14^th to 16^th at the 1^st lunar moth. During the lantern festival, children like to go out carrying lanterns together. All of these beautiful lanterns are dazzling, and they bring us the rich culture of ancient China; on the other hand, on the lantern festival young people get together to enjoy the fireworks show, and others say that this day is another Chinese Valentine’s Day. The beautiful show about lanterns and the romantic display of fireworks are the gifts for the lovers. How happy the scenes are!  Today in China, there is a grand TV Show about the lantern festival in the evening. On the daytime there are also the lion dance, stilt walk and so on. The lantern festival also marks the end of the celebrations of the Lunar New Year. When people finish celebrating the lantern festival, it also said that it is time for people to start their new work on the next year. During the Spring Festival, people enjoy the festival joyance with their families, and they also with the new hope meet the next year. Happy the lantern festival! Best wishes for my mum and dad! I miss you so much!

Hi everyone:

This time, I want to share the movie—The Karate Kid. This film tells us a story about the kid whose name is Dre Parker come to China learn Chinese Kung fu. The central figure about this movie is Jaden Smith who is a famous child star in American, and there is also an important actor—Jackie Chan who acts maintenance and the martial arts coach of Dre-Mr. Han. It is an inspirational film, and it is also a funny story. Sometime, Dre looks like a funny kid, and before he goes to Beijing in his mind China is an old country, and he doesn't like China. When he practices the Chinese with his mother on airplane, it is a very funny scene. Her mother makes him try to say some sentences in Chinese which they learned before, Dre with his reluctant expression says hello in Chinese to a man who looks like a Chinese, but the man is an ABC. That‘s funny. Through this movie, I learn a lot of things. At first, there is an idiom – get out of your hair, and it means that don’t bother somebody.Second, I am very like the following sentence which said by Dre’s coach Mr. Han. It is that “Life can bring me down, but I can choose to want to stand up.” It gives me a great encouragement, and I really realize that confidence is the most important thing for a person whenever you do to get what you want to. When you determine to do something, you will overcome difficulties. Finally, I want to say that the theme movie song is a very good song, and its name  is << Never Say Never>>by a singer-Justin Bieber. Try to listen to the song, and I hope you will like it.
