My favourite movie: Rushmore

Uh, this is hard... I like so many movies that pickin up one of them seems unfair with other movies I like. But in this ocasion I will say that my favourite film is “Rushmore” (the title in Chile is “Tres son multitud”), directed by Wes Anderson (a very very good director, indeed almost all of his movies are between my real favourites). The movie is about Max Fischer, a nerdy boy from an exclusive school named “Rushmore”, who has so many extracurricular activities (being very good in each of them) but terrible califications in his regular classes. He’s in love with her teacher but he’s expelled from school for his low notes (he’s poor, studying there by a scholarship)... action develops until he become friend of his teacher, that became the wife of a friend of them.

Anyway, the first time I saw it was one year ago, in a moment of my life that I watched a lot of movies. The good thing of this movie, that put it beyond the others is the quality of the photography, the nice story (very original) and, better than anything, the performance of Jason Schwarzman, Max Fischer.

I really recomend this movie for people who likes original stories and nice aesthetics in the productions.

First of all: there’s a lot of funny stuff in this page!, I loved wordmaster (maybe because it seems difficult at the beginning, but later I defeat it). Some of the activities are made for people with a superior level of English expertise, those were impossible for me to display successfully. But there were others that I could play correctly. “Beat the keeper” it’s interesting, but when you play it twice, the questions begin to repeat and that wasn’t very nice.

By the other hand, the activities of pronunciation were useful to me because I watch a lot of movies and series without subtitles (my English writing is not very good as you can see, but my hearing is not that bad). British pronunciation is sometimes so hard to understand that beating this obstacle is a great achievement for understanding regular Hollywood’s movies, for examples (although I know there is another dialects more difficult to be heard than British English).

In conclusion, the page is a nice tool to practice and watch the development of my English skills.

Expectations

I think that i'm going to read, write and especially speak english better than before, is always good to be watched by a teacher that cares about your progress and tests you. It doesn't really matters if I already know some english, because maybe is not enough for the works that I want to do before leaving the university. I hope pass the class this semester for end my career soon as posible.
