Consolidation

Write a short film review with some useful expressions we learn from the passage.

对我来说观看由James Cameron拍摄的电影“Avatar”是一次非凡的体验。

在3D的帮助下，他向我们展示了他脑海中的一个非凡

的场景，尤其是人和自然

之间的和谐。它不仅增加了电影的气氛atmosphere，而且也带着观众体验了另一个令人惊奇的世界。 最终，这些话“人可以退役，精神不可以退役”让我非常震惊。(同位语从句) 所以，我建议我们班的同学都能安静的坐下来欣赏这部电影，重温经典台词(lines),做一个像男主角一样能在关键时刻做正确选择的人。(虚拟语气) (You may be out, but you never lose the attitude. ) Keys:

It was an extraordinary experience for me to watch the movie “Avatar” shot by James Cameron.

With the aid of 3D, he shows us a fantastic scene in his mind, especially the harmony between people and nature. Not only does it add to the atmosphere of the film, but it also takes the audience to experience another amazing world.

Finally, the words shocks me most that You may be out, but you never lose the attitude. So I recommend our students sit quietly before the PC, review the classic lines and

be a person who can make right choices at big times .
