Review the story below and be prepared to retell it in your next class. NO MEMORIZING. Write 1-2 example sentences for the vocab from the previous 2 lessons.

I like the actor Francis. His real name is Kevin Spacey. He has a good play in the tv series / He played good. I think maybe people thought Francis in the tv series is a bad guy because he is very political and he is very manipulate. He will use everyone if they can help him to approach something. I don’t understand his wife and him, they are marriage. I think it’s a little weird because maybe Francis loved her wife, and his wife loved him… They are couple and maybe they love each other but the way is I can’t accept that way if I was his husband or her wife. I like Francis because he is real, he know what he want and he can pursue it and he won’t hid his ambitious. I want it and I want to do it. He open to everyone who can help him. Compared to other candidates or other govt. officers, he is a real man. I think he know what is the best for his people even he is a bad guy and very cold but I think I like him. I hope he win.

I like the main character Francis Underwood. His real name is Kevin Spacey. His acting captures me. I think people might think Francis is a tricky/slippery/deceptive/unscrupulous politician and he is very manipulative. He will use everyone if they can help him to achieve/accomplish something. I don’t understand his wife and him, their marriage. I think it’s a little weird because maybe Francis loves his wife, and his wife loves him… I can’t accept the way they treat each other. I like Francis because he is real, he knows what he wants and he can pursue it and he won’t hid his ambitions. His attitude is, “I want it and I will take it.“ He pretends to be open to everyone who can help him. Compared to other candidates or other govt. officers, he is a real man.
