Here is the card.
Thanks.
Recently I saw a movie on line. Its called Saving1 face, directed by a Chinese-American director called .Alex Wu, cast bya group of Chinese-American actors and actresses, including one of my favorite actresses Joan Chen, who immigrated2 to the United States in the 1980s. That mean when I was a little kid, I saw movies of hers. This movie is about a Chinese mother and an American daughter, who has grown up with her grandparents in the United States. It shows how the mother gets along with her daughter, how to cope3 with her new American life and how she handles her own emotional4 problems. At the end of the movie, the mother and the daughter finally understand each other. The mother accepted the fact that her daughter is lesbian. And the daughter also encourages her mother to accept a marriage with a young manshe married a man who is almost 20 years younger than her. This movie shows.
Do you want to see the movie again?
No, I dont think so, because I saw the movie on line, and I was able to repeat it again and again. I think I have known the movie enough and there is no need to.
Have you told anybody about the film?
Nooh yes, I talked about it to a friend of mine when we were chatting on line
What is the status of film making in your country?

What is the status of actresses and actors in your country?
Wellopinions vary7. Young people admire movie stars, the glamour8, trend, fashion..They see them as heroes. However, older people have negative opinions towards them. To them, many movie stars have problems. Some of them have drug problems, porces.they dont like them at all.
How do movies influence people?
The content, the content of a movie have influences on people. For example, if a movie is about how people persevere9 to succeed. Young people may be inspired and motivated to seek success after they see it.
How do you see the educational value in films and that in reading?
Well, you think when you read, so . However, when you see a movie, movies are full of plots, some are really exciting. You cant really think when you watch them. You might think after you watch the movie, but not during watching it. So I think reading has more educational value than seeing films.
How does seeing films help with learning10 languages?
Oh, it helps a lot in learning languages, because learning a language is a process of imitating.. When students are seeing a film, he is imitating the expressions, the pronunciation and the vocaburary. Most important of all, they enjoy it! I use that a lot in my class....
Isnt it a bit passive11?
Oh, yeah,it is a bit. Thats why we dont do that often in .ah serious class time. We do that at weekends when students are relaxing
How do you plan a lesson with films?
I willFirst, I will tell them that we are going to show a movie and then ask them to guess what the content is .Then we show the movie, after seeing it, well discuss about it to see who has guessed right. And if we have more time for it, we usually pick one scene for the students to act. Or sometimes we pick several scenes and different groups of students act them. We put them together and we have a movie of our own
