Review
The film is adapted(改编) from a fairy tale(童话故事)?of the same name---Beauty and the beast
A long time ago, a handsome prince was turned into an ugly beast, because he was cold-hearted and made judgments by people’s appearance. Once he even beat a poor old woman. He would be restored(恢复) until he learned how to love. If he didn’t learn to love, he would die. Then he met the Belle, a beautiful girl. When Belle showed up at his doorstep, he was filled with both hope and fear. He hoped that she might be his love and could make him back to be a human, but he feared that she may be afraid of his ugliness and run away. Belle hated the Beast at first, but when he risked his life fighting off the wolves to save her, Belle found that, in fact, the Beast was kind and warm-hearted. Though he was ugly, Belle didn’t judge him by his appearance.
A brief introduction of Beauty and the beast.
Read and answer three questions:
1. Why was the handsome prince turned into an ugly beast?

hearted?

transitions
(过渡词)
We use transitions to connect(连接) the ideas.
True beauty comes from within.
Don’t judge a book by its cover.
Transitions make the passage more logical(逻辑) and more attractive.

I like novels. I enjoy reading the books of Robert Louis Stevenson because I find them really exciting. For example, Treasure Island tells the story of a young boy who sailed the sea to look for hidden treasure. Jim, the main character in the book, is very brave. His story gave me a lot of confidence. After reading the book, I am not as shy as I used to be and I am willing to try new things. I also want to travel have exciting experiences in the future. Moreover, I have decided to write my own stories. Maybe I can become a writer when I am
older!
