 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Question

Talk about a movie you liked or disliked and explain why. Give details and examples to support your decision.

 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Answer

A movie that I have seen that I really enjoyed is called “Iron & Silk.” This movie helped me decide what line of work I wanted to be in. I would not be the person I am today if I had not seen this movie. It is about a man who studies Chinese literature in America so that he can go to China and teach English. When he arrived in China, it was 1980 and China had just begun to change. I thought, from the movie, that China looked like such a different country which was very interesting. Most of the people were so friendly to this man and really respected him because he was a teacher. I thought if I could be like the man in the movie, my life would be very exciting too.
