Write a paragraph (150 words) describing your favourite film.
Suggested paragraph:
It is hard for me to choose which film is my favourite because each one has its own meaning as well as artistic value. However, the one that I have seen several times without feeling bored is 'Flipped' - a sweet teenage love story film by Rob Reiner. Released in 2010, the movie is an adaptation of an award-winning young adult novel with the same title by Wendelin Van Draanen. The story revolves around two youngsters named Bryce Loski and Juli Baker. When a new family moves into the house across the street, second-grader Juli is instantly smitten with the new boy in town. He may be trying his hardest to get away from her, but she thinks he is playing coy and shy. It is not until six years pass that the love-hate relationship reaches fruition, with both kids learning about life and love. What I am absolutely impressed by the film is the creative way that the director develops the story. Reiner, never subtle, transitions each segment with a top to bottom flip of the frame, showing how the same events are seen differently from the perspective of each actor. So, if you are looking for a story that is refreshing yet vintage, and wanting to have a lovey-dovey grin plastered on your face, this is the movie to watch.

Starting Over Again
Ever since I can remember, I always love to draw. When I was very young, I scribbled all them over my bedroom walls until I mastered paper and pencil. Later, an enlightened schoolteacher made sure of I went on to art school and it was there did I draw my first life model, which was a wonderful experience. My tutors encouraged me to take in drawing seriously, but I ignored their advice. I wanted to do something more exciting like a career and I chose graphic design. After college, I worked for a number of years as Art Director at a small publishing company. I loved the sociability of office life, but gradually became more and more frustrated. I found myself long to draw properly again, but what meant having time to draw those things which interested me. Then, out of the black, it was announced that the firm was being reorganized and I was offered voluntary redundancy with quite a large number of cash payment. I leapt at the chance. With enough money in the bank to support me for two years, I went back to art college, determined to get my drawing skills backed up to scratch so that I could embark on a career as an illustrator.
