Casting)a group of Chinese-American actors and actresses, including one of my favorite actresses Joan Chen, who immigrated to the United States in the 1980s. That mean when I was a little kid, I saw movies of hers. This movie is about a Chinese mother and an American daughter, who has grown up with her grandparents in the United States. It shows how the mother gets along with her daughter, how to cope with her new American life and how she handles her own emotional problems. At the end of the movie, the mother and the daughter finally understand each other. The mother accepted the fact that her daughter is lesbian.

Do you want to see the movie again?

No, I don’t think so, because I saw the movie on line, and I was able to repeat it again and again. I think I have known the movie enough and there is no need to….

Have you told anybody about the film?

No…oh yes, I talked about it to a friend of mine when we were chatting on line…

How does seeing films help with learning languages?

Isn’t it a bit passive?

Oh, yeah,it is a bit. That’s why we don’t do that often in ….ah serious class time. We do that at weekends when students are relaxing…(interrupted)

How do you plan a lesson with films?

I will…First, I will tell them that we are going to show a movie and then ask them to guess what the content is .Then we show the movie, after seeing it, we’ll discuss about it to see who has guessed right.

We put them together and we have a movie of our own…
