Speaking exercise

My favorite show is called Kamen Rider I like it because I like the person that are fighting with the bad guys, because they’re very cool. And I also like the Japanese cartoon because Japanese people can imagine many things. These shows are the superheroes who are created with help of the real life objects: video games and clocks. When the superheroes  come out, they’re very cool and they will become very strong. The bad guys are becoming more powerful.
