SAMPLE:

•Hi Pat,

  I  I saw a great movie last time I was at the cinema and I want

     to recommend it. It’s called “Finding Nemo”.

The movie was about a clownfish named Marlin who was looking for his son Nemo because he had disappeared. Along the way, he met Dory, who suffered from short-term memory loss. Both Marlin and Dory faced many challenges to find Nemo and bring him back home.

The movie takes place in the Australian ocean in the 2.000’s.

In my opinion, the movie was fantastic! It was full of adventure and comedy. Besides, it showed the love of a father towards his son. I’m really excited because the sequel “Finding Dory” will be out soon!

You should really watch this movie. I’m sure you will enjoy it.

Love, Hellen.
