I saw so many wonderful films at the festival. Also, I met
many famous actors. The highlight for me, though, was
the filmmaking workshop. There I learned what it takes

best thing about the phone was that it had a really good
camera. That’s how I got interested in photography. I took
pictures of everything I saw and uploaded them to my dad’s
computer. After a while, I decided to buy a real camera and
take some classes to learn how to use it. When I grow up, I’m
going to be a photographer, or maybe a film director.

of a fan of adventure novels but something about the cover
attracted me to it. I was sure glad I did. It was an intriguing
story about a man who tries to escape an atomic bomb only
to run into more danger. The plot is so fast-paced that I

different and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants an

Exercise 3 (p. 78)

Films today are all about technology. Many are in 3D or have
computerised images making them very life-like with some
remarkable special effects. As entertaining as this may be, I
find such films quite annoying at times. I recently went to
see the latest Transformer film with some friends. I like
science fiction films a lot and thought this film would be
great. My friends loved the amazing special effects and
unusual characters. I, however, was very disappointed at
the film’s storyline. I found it to be full of ridiculous special
effects. I prefer dramas over other types of film. That
doesn’t mean I don’t like a good science fiction or horror
film but it must have a good plot. I don’t trust reviews of
films these days because they often pay more attention to
the special effects used in the film. I find films based on a
successful book are usually a good choice. In fact, this
weekend I’m planning to see The Hobbit. My brother read
the book and really enjoyed it. I’ll probably go alone as all
my friends have seen it but I don’t mind as long as it has a
great story.
