watching. The film brings lions alive on screen. In the film, a baby lion called Simba is chosen
to be the future king of the lion family. It is clever and brave. The film is suitable for all ages.
T: Titanic is also one of my favourite. It is really moving but with a sad ending. In the film, a
young artist named Jack falls in love with a beautiful girl called Rose when they travel on a ship. But something terrible happens at the end of the film and many people die including Jack. Do you want to watch it, too? But perhaps it’s not suitable for you because it’s a romantic film.
