Watch English movies and write review essays
Thread Content
Our leader said that starting next week, we should set aside time each week to watch an original English-language movie and then write a review of it. Ah, by then I’m afraid I won’t even be able to understand movies, let alone write reviews of them! ! ! Please give some suggestions.
Hehe, you’ll understand once you’ve seen enough. There’s also “Baidu”, right?:loveliness:
I mean, remember the movie’s title and watch the Chinese version at home.
This creates an atmosphere that fosters and encourages the learning of English. It’s good to learn, but I think it would be advisable to suggest that your supervisors opt for bilingual materials, with the reaction essays written in English – only in this way can one truly practice their English skills. It practices both words and sentence grammar. I also suggest that for the same movie, there can be several different review essays; at first the word count requirement should be low, and it can be increased gradually. In that way, people will feel a sense of achievement, realizing that they are capable of writing such long English articles.
How helpful is watching original English-language movies in improving one’s English skills? The key is still an individual’s learning attitude.
Reply to 5# yzhang2010: Yes, my former foreign teacher told me to watch the Chinese version first, then the English version second time; there are no subtitles on the third version either. I’ve heard it’s very useful, but I’ve never tried it~
What kind of weird company do you work for? When entertainment turns into a job, it stops being entertaining. Man! It’s not going to be easy! Sympathy……
Tonight, we will watch the movie Becoming Jane.
It seems quite humorous – is your company a state-owned enterprise? Just like Chinese, English is for most people merely a tool; to achieve the best results, one needs to keep listening, speaking, and applying what has been learned, and of course, writing regularly as well. Language, in the absence of an environment for its application, is hard to use skillfully. This is why it’s easy to understand people from other countries speaking English, but a bit harder to keep up when Americans speak
It’s a piece of cake. Take it easy. So far, so good. You’re a lucky guy; we’ve never found anything this good before.
Hehe, if you can’t understand the content, you can write down your own feelings about the characters and the scenes; take your time. I wonder whether your boss organizes it during working hours or after work; it has a pretty big impact on one’s mindset.
