Below is an introduction Laura gave to her class about The Jungle Book. Pay attention to the underlined subjects and verbs and fill in the table below. The first two have been done for you.
Exploring the rules
Everyone was surprised when Disney said its film team members were remaking The Jungle Book.Based on Rudyard Kipling’s book of the same title, it describes the story of a boy named Mowgli. Mowgli and his animal friends live happily in the jungle until one day Shere Khan the tiger returns and tries to drive him out of the jungle. In 1967, Disney adapted the book into a cartoon film,which is widely regarded as a classic. However, its old age shows. The new film uses much more advanced technology — not only the animals but also the jungle is digitally created. Building the jungle environment on the computer was no easy job. It took more than 800artists over a year to work on the project. The Jungle Book lasts for about two hours but there is enough tension and humour to hold your attention during the whole film. Two hours seems very short when you’re having so much fun!

Applying the rules
Write a short paragraph about 3-D films. Use the following information to help you. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement.
3-D films
History Were first made in 1915
Advantage Make things look like they are coming out of the screen
Disadvantage Sometimes cause headaches and sickness for viewers
Need a special cinema and 3-D glasses
Examples Avatar, Life of Pi, Titanic (changed to a 3-D film after filming)
Applying the rules
I think everyone has probably seen a 3-D film, but did you know that 3-D films were first made more than one hundred years ago, in 1915? To watch 3-D films, requires a special cinema and 3-D glasses. 3-D effects can be really amazing.making things look like they are coming out of the screen, but sometimes they cause headaches and sickness for viewers. Many successful films, such as Avatar and Life of Pi, have been made in 3-D. Not only new films but also 2-D films like7itanic are now available in 3-D.
Sample
Applying the rules
In my opinion, this technology is really exciting and some films are better to watch in 3-D than in 2-D. However, since it takes a lot of work to create 3-D effects, not all films do a good job of it.

My favorite animated movie
Among various animated movies, I want to recommend Ne Zha, a popular Chinese animated film.
The film tells the story of a boy who is born with a special fate. Faced with prejudice and doubt from others, Ne Zha never gives up and finally breaks his fate through constant efforts and courage.
What impresses me most is its inspiring theme. The movie conveys the message that our fate lies in our own hands rather than others’ opinions. It teaches us to be brave, confident and persistent in the face of difficulties. Therefore, it is definitely a movie worth watching.

A review of my favorite film
Recently, I have watched a fantastic animated film titled Ne Zha, which has become my favorite movie.
The story is based on Chinese mythology but offers a fresh take. Ne Zha is born as a “demon child” and faces prejudice from the villagers. However, instead of giving in to his fate, he chooses to fight against it to protect his family and friends.
I think highly of this film. First of all, the visual effects are stunning and the action scenes are breathtaking. Besides, the plot is both humorous and touching. What impresses me most is the theme: “My fate is up to me, not the gods.”
I highly recommend this film to everyone.
