unit. You must include at least 2 times of using these grammar items below:
Simple present tense:
● To talk about basic facts and plot of the film (eg. The film is directed by Peter Smith.
It is about a boy who accidentally traveled through time…)
● To give opinions (eg. I recommend/ I don’t recommend this film because…)
● Defining and non-defining noun phrases: To describe important places, people and
things in the film (eg. Sam, the protagonist, is a smart and kind boy…)
● Simple past tense: To talk about your thoughts and feelings while watching the film
(eg. I was scared when he fell down the hole, but when he discovered he was in the
year 3000, I was so shocked and surprised…)

You can also refer to the useful vocabulary and expressions on P. 28 of your textbook or ask
your teacher for help. Write about 180-200 words.
