（一）参考范文：
Hi, Eric,
I have seen many movies, too. But I like Kung Fu Panda best.
The movie is an educational cartoon. It’s about a common panda who wants to learn Kung fu. He dreams to be a master and beats others. And he always tries to face any danger He never gives up easily and tries his best to solve his problems. Finally, he proves himself successfully.
The movie has funny dialogs and a happy ending. From the movie, we can learn that nothing is impossible as long as we don’t give up our dreams and keep working hard. This is why I like it very much. After watching it, my problems suddenly seem less serious and I feel much better again.
Li Hua,
China
