Hi Graham:

How are you?

You are determined to get us busy.

Last year,in our class,there was a girl who loved the film "Still Walking",and she went to see it twice or more times.
Every week she talked about the film and I was looking forward to see it too.

I saw it two months ago and It was a disappointing film. I hope it was more interesting because it was about the Japanese life.

I´ve done some exercises too,but Inma did one of them better.

Have a good day and give us a rest¡

I had never heard of this film so I googled it. The story doesn't sound terribly interesting and the reviews are average.

I hardly ever go to the cinema now. I have been disappointed too often. I prefer to rent a film; there are so many so-called classics that I haven't seen. I really do think that films were better in the past.


I was LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING IT TOO. I HAD HOPED IT WAS MORE INTERESTING because it was about LIFE IN JAPAN.

I think I need a rest too... :-)

Hi Graham:

I think that be a lawyer is a boring job to have, maybe not the most boring, but almost.

It can sound strange because that´s my job, but I think that most of people think the same about their own job.

If I could choose any job I´d like to be a Rock Star, because in my opinion it is one of the most exciting jobs.


Have a good weekend!!
