SPEAKING REVISION FOR SPEAKING TASKS OF LEVEL 36 Part 1 Today I’d like to talk about Harry Porter film which is one of my favourite films. It was a fiction film telling a story about people in the wizarding world. The central character was Harry Porter, who used to be an orphan in the normal world. Afterwards, he went to a special school called Howard where taught him necessary skills to succeed in wizarding world. He had to deal with challenges and even the against dark power. Harry Porter was recommended as a masterpiece that making me feel curious about it. I think the most important reason why I enjoyed this film was that it made me feel adventurous. It was really a fantastic film.
