And it makes people think about the 7.The words of the play were a little hard to understand. But the actors and the 8 were excellent. The best part of the play was the singing. It was very beautiful and interesting. And I really enjoyed it.

I'm looking forward to seeing it again. I 9 to understand more next time. 10 you like watching plays, you can watch the play The Teahouse.

On National Day, my parents and I watched a movie called The Battle at Lake Changjin. Most people think it is one of the meaningful and educational movies this year. It shows people how Chinese soldiers risked their lives to win Chinese a life.

The war from November, 1950. It was a very cold winter, and the was even below -30℃. The Chinese soldiers didn't have enough weapons to fight, enough clothes to , or even enough food to eat, but they tried best to fight for the country.

Many people cried they were watching the movie, especially when they saw Chinese soldiers each could only have one ice-cold potato. The cold weather even made many soldiers their lives as they were waiting to fight on the mountain. , under such hard conditions, Chinese soldiers fought till the end, making great contributions (贡献) for the whole war.

teenagers today, we should cherish (珍惜) the peaceful life now and work hard to make our country stronger and better.

Twelv-­year­-old Cale Ferrin hasn't seen many people who look like him in TV shows or movies. But in 2019, Ferrin represented people like him in the movie More Beautiful for Having Been Broken. He plays the role of Freddie, a young boy who has a rare blood disorder(血液病) in the countryside. Ferrin has the same disease in real life. He had more than 27 surgeries and more than 100 hospital visits before the age of 7. But none of these stopped his dream of acting.

"Special needs actors are just as good as other actors, and I just want to take away love. Love is the biggest thing," Ferrin said.

More Beautiful for Having Been Broken, directed by US director Nicole Conn, was inspired by Conn's child Nicholas. Nicholas was 100 days premature(早产的) and weighed only one pound (about 0.45 kg), but his mother never gave up on him. Besides, Nicholas is brave and does not bow to fate.

Some of the film's events are similar to those that Ferrin has actually experienced. For example, in one scene, the character he plays has a seizure. This brought back memories of being in the hospital and being hooked up to(与……连接) medical equipment for Ferrin.

Conn said that while there's a growing trend towards inclusivity(包容性) in films, Ferrin is still just one of the few disabled actors who are playing disabled characters.

"It just makes me feel amazed that I'm inspiring so many kids out there because I just want to show them that I get it. You're scared, but just go out there," Ferrin said.

Alice, Harry Potter, Shrek: What do they have in common? All are characters in books, and all have made the big leap(跳跃) from the printed page to the big screen!

Hollywood has 1 that popular children's books can make popular movies. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone 2 more money than any other film in the year when it hit the big screen. Filmmakers have also worked their magic with other 3 , including Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat.

Turning a book into a movie is not 4 . Screenwriters(电影剧本作家) have a challenging job. They turn written words and imagined scenes into spoken words and action. 5 , they must make a 400—page story fit into two hours. At other times, the screenwriters make a short story longer 6 adding more to the plots(情节) . That's one reason the film is never exactly the same as the book. "It has to be different, or it won't work, " says Natalie Babbitt, an American author(作家). She 7 Tuck Everlasting. The movie has a love story that's not even in the book!

Some people are unhappy and even angry when the story is 8 . Not Chris Van Allsburg, the author of Jumanji and The Polar Express. The two books were also made into 9 . "A book is often just the starting point," he says. That's good 10 for both filmmakers and readers: Start with the book, and then go to see the movie!
