Today, I would like to talk about a film that I’ve seen recently. It is called
"Up". I watched the film with my children last weekend. The movie was
directed by Pete Docter, who also directed Monsters. It as the best animated
film of the Year 2009.
The story centers on an old man named Carl Fredricksen who is determined
to get to South America to keep a promise he made to his dead wife Ellie.
After tying thousands of balloons to his house, Carl is off to South America.
However, he soon discovers a little boy named Russell is on aboard his house
and the two of them set off on a bigger adventure than they had expected.
I especially like the film because one of the film's qualities that is likely to be
diminished by 3D is its subtle and beautiful color palette. “Up”, like “Finding
Nemo” and “The Lion King” uses colors in a way particularly suited to its
content. In addition, I was interested in the film because this is a film in
English and I could practice listening and learning English at the same time.
However, what I didn’t like about the film is I felt so sad and moved to tears
when I was watching the film.
I think “Up” is a must-see film and the content is generally suitable for all
ages. Therefore, I will introduce the film to my best friends so that she can
enjoy it with her children when they have free time.

Phần trả lời: Câu 2:  PART 2: READING (3P)

Read the text. 

Have your say!

Today’s complaint is from Mr P. K. Lipton in Somerset and concerns news
bulletins.
News bulletins
How often should we be given news updates on TV? Traditionally the viewing
public has had fairly regular news updates on most major channels in
comprehensive hour or half hour long programmes that bring us a range of
different information and opinions about important newsworthy events from
our own country and around the world. We all know the times of these
programmes so we can choose what and when we want to watch. In addition
to these news programmes there are, of course, the channels dedicated to 24-
hour news coverage. What is putting my back up at the moment is a new
supplement to the regular programmes – 60 second news bulletins, hourly
during the evening. 
I imagine this has come about because the news bosses think we shall all be
thrilled to get a news update every hour but I have to say that not everyone is
enamoured of the new system – myself included!
There are several reasons why I feel this way. Firstly, 60 seconds is a very
short length of time and there are usually several major points they wish to tell
us about. However talented the news presenters are, they cannot avoid
sounding rushed as they try to read everything within the time limit. Because
of this speed of delivery, you usually find that there is no time for any space
between items. The result of this is that one item follows on immediately from
another and there is no pause to indicate that one item has finished and another
has begun. This can be both confusing and slightly amusing! 
Secondly, most evenings the news doesn’t change radically within an hour so
the bulletins end up repeating the same items again and again. Sometimes
there is a change in presenter in order to give the illusion of new news but in
effect it is the same bulletin as an hour ago. Why bother?
Thirdly, I consider this an intrusion into my evening’s viewing. Yes, news is
important and I choose when I wish to watch it. When I sit down to watch a
film or a soap opera, I want to relax. I do not want to be interrupted in this
way. Even now, when I should be expecting it, the bulletins still come as a
surprise and I half expect some terrible breaking news.
Maybe I am a grumpy old man but in my opinion news has a time and a place
and it’s not every hour while I’m trying to relax!

1. there should be more good news programmes on TV. T / F
