Ex.4 (p.101)
Read the text and play the following game.
I told my friend Elsa from the USA about the lesson we had about Anne Frank. She recommended a film. Its title is The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. She told me that I should see it. Last Sunday, my friend Corina and I went to the cinema to see the film. When we entered the cinema, we saw the film posters. We saw two boys, one of whom was wearing striped pajamas and the other was wearing plain clothes. A fence separated them. The poster was very dramatic. We were curious to see what had happened to the boys.
That time we didn’t want to buy any popcorn and soda. We just wanted to watch the movie. We took our seats and turned off the phones. The film started. I could hardly breathe. The film was so sad, and the boys’ lives so tragic that my friend and I cried. We couldn’t believe that people could be so cruel during the Second World War. Everybody in the cinema was silent. People were really moved by the story. I saw tears in people’s eyes when we left the cinema.
I can say that the film changed me a lot. I started thinking about how lucky I am to live in a peaceful time. I think I complain less now. Just like Anne Frank I try to see the beauty that surrounds me. The film has inspired me to read the book with the same title and written by John Boyne. I can say that the book is even more interesting. I think we should read such books. We should know how cruel people could be. Such books are warnings not to repeat the same mistakes from history. They also help us understand the real values and appreciate what we have. So they show us that we have a second chance and we should make the right decisions. We should help and respect others. We should promote peace.
