Most people think that making a film is exciting. In fact, sometimes it is and sometimes it isn’t. Earlier this year, I worked in a new film. It was about a bomb threat on a big British ship. Two hundred people were needed to act as the passengers in the film. I was one of them.

Before we left, we were wanted to bring some warm clothes. These were necessary because the ship was going to spend the whole 16 days sailing in bad weather.

Then the day came and we sailed out of Dover. The boat had on board the film crew, the director, the actors and actresses including Brinksley Meers, who acted the leading role, and us-200 amateur(業余的) extras.

People came for different purposes. Some wanted to meet Brinksley Meers in person. Others were curious to see how a film was made. A housewife with her three children came for free holiday and a bit of adventure.

During the voyage, a lot of people were very seasick. And although the work was very interesting, it was also very hard. We often worked all day on one scene, performing it again and again under the hot lights. In the evenings, there were drinks in the bar, but most people were so tired that they went to bed early. The next day often began at 6:30 in the morning, sometimes with breakfast being filmed.

When the ship finally returned to port, most people had enjoyed the trip, but were also so tired that they at least needed a week’s holiday. Answer the following questions:

I like watching TV very much for I think it has many advantages. First of all, watching TV is a good rest. After a day of hard work , we need a good rest. Watching TV can make our mind and body not tired any more because of the pleasant music and TV plays.

Besides, watching TV is entertaining. There are many kinds of entertainments, such as sports activities, singing and dancing concerts, plays and the activities within a short time. We need at least ten hours to fly from New York to Paris, a week by train from Beijing to Moscow and an hour to drive from Queens Distric to Manhattan Distric. But within just one second, TV can bring us from an NBA game in New York to a fashion show in Paris by changing the channels.

Most important, watching TV is educational. Our children can learn every kind of subjects through the educational programs and the special reports on TV, and it’s easy for them to learn Chinese from a Chinese teacher in Beijing and to learn Russian lessons from a Russian teacher in Moscow. Even we can learn how to behave well from the TV plays. Meanwhile, a teacher can teach millions of students without a huge classroom.
