I like not only the Hollywood blockbusters, but also literary films. Of all the films, I like “The Shawshank Redemption” best. It is a motivational film which always motivates me to get rid of the slump. It is like my spiritual mentor. It tells the story of Andy, a banker who is wronged in Shawshank State Prison to pursue freedom. The hero Andy has a heart of seeking freedom and perseverance.Through his professional knowledge and careful observation, he finds the path for survival. It conveys friendships, hardships, hopes, and dreams. On e of my favorite scene is that Andy’ friends in the prison drink the beer and chatwith each other on the roof as if they are free men. Andy just spent that break hunkered in the shade, a strange little smile on his face watching them drinking his beer. At that time, I think he does it just to feel normal again.

We took a little train to enjoy the view, but unluckily we missed the return train because we didn’t know we should get on it in five minutes. What a waste of money and time! After leaving Kyoto, we got to Kobe. We stayed at a hot spring hotel. It was my first time to take a bath in a hot spring. I felt really excited at first, but when I was in the hot spring, I felt very embarrassed because I couldn’t wear anything. After we left Kobe, we went to Osaka.

I think it is an unforgettable experience in my life.I hope I can visit it again.15.I have Grown UpFour years’ school life just likes a short journey during which I gain a lot of knowledge, change my bad habits and also I know how to grasp opportunities to show my abilities in spite of different troubles and then make great progress.In the past, I may be blue in my face though others hurt me unintentionally, but now I have grown up, I realize that I should choose a wise way to deal with this case, before scolding, communication is of great importance to win others’ respect.

It was not long before I had lain down on my bed. Sam started barking and pulled my bed. I felt so surprised and give Sam an order which means sit down and be quiet.
