Writing exercise

Today I’ll talk about three films of one series, Before Sunrise, Before Sunset and Before Midnight. I think these films are magical because there are only two people in the whole process.

Before Sunrise is describe that one girl and one boy are stranger before they meet on the train. The girl is a university student and the boy is also a younger. They were full in love with each other at the first time. They talked a lot of things about their life and ideas. When the train stopped, the boy invited the girl got off the train together, and traveled in Paris at whole night. The boy must fly to American next day morning. They agreed to meet again on the same day of next year at the same place.

In that age, girls and boys were a little shyness, so when the boy tried to invite the girl to have a lunch,the girls think a moment and then agree with him. Sometimes they looked at each other secretly, sometimes they touch the other were very scrupulous (小心翼翼). So there are some good details which were attracted me in the first movies of this series.

Before Sunset is also high score like the first one. The boy became a writer after about ten years later. While He was holding signing meeting in the book store, a woman was staring at him at the corner. He recognized her at once. I was so excited they were meet again finally.  This was his third time to Paris. 原来many years ago the boy went to the train station for appointment, but the girls didn’t come because her grandmother died. The boys was so surprised that he could see the girls again, so he invited her to drink coffee. From the conversation, the boys is married and have a baby. The girl works in a newspaper and has a boyfriend. They traveled the city again and took a lot like the first meet.

Revised

Today I’ll talk about three films of one series, Before Sunrise, Before Sunset and Before Midnight. I think these films are exceptional/amazing/ cool because there are only two people in the whole production.

Before Sunrise described the story of a girl and boy who were strangers before they met on the train. The girl was a university student and the boy was a young man. They fell in love at first sight. They talked a lot of things about their life and ideas. When the train stopped, the boy invited the girl to get off the train together, and hung out in Paris for the whole night. The boy must fly to America the next day morning. They agreed to meet again on the same day of next year at the same place.

During that period, they were a bit shy, so when the boy tried to ask the girl out for lunch,the girls thought about it moment and then agreed. Sometimes they looked at each other secretly, sometimes they touch one another scrupulously . So there were some good details in the first movie which were attracted me in the first movies of this series.

Before Sunset has a high rating like the first one. The boy became a writer after about ten years later. While He was having a signing session in the bookstore, a woman was staring at him in the corner. He recognized her at once. I was so excited that they finally met again finally.  This was his third time to Paris. many years ago the boy went to the train station at the appointed day, but the girls didn’t come because her grandmother died. The boys was so surprised that he could see the girl again, so he invited her for a coffee. From the conversation, we learned that the boy got married and had a baby. The girl worked in a newspaper agency and had a boyfriend. They hung out in Paris again and talked like the first time (they met).
