INTERVIEW（２２）

Choose one movie that impressed you most.
Describe the movie and explain the reasons including specific details in your response.


I was impressed by Harry Potter series, which is a story of adventures and growth of the wizard boy Harry Potter.
There are two reasons for this.
Firstly, this movie is full of thrills and spills.
There are romance, heartbreak, revenge and many exciting battles in forbidding dungeons,
which makes me feel as if I were playing a live-action version of a huge roll-playing game.
Secondly, I felt very happy that I could understand English spoken by Harry, Ron, Hermione and others.
Their English is articulated for children, which boosts my motivation to watch the film
again and again as part of English learning.
