Vocabulary

intertwined – two things wrapped together like wires

eg: The stories in the movie were intertwined.

Original –

My favorite film is Love Actually, which talked about ten love stories which happened in Christmas. I love it because it gives me a critical perspective of love. Like a prime minister’s love who loves his secretary but can’t tell the public. A superstar who is a gay and loves his agent, but he don’t want to admit it even to himself. And a writer’s love who loves his servant , a foreign woman, but because of the language problem they rarely communicate with each, but each of them knows that maybe he or she has a feeling with the other, but neither of them dare tell the truth to the other. And a man who loves his best friends wife, of course he can’t confess it to the girl. And another man just betrayed his wife before the christmas. Eventually all of them tell the truth to the other on the christmas eve, that’s the reason I love this film, because it teaches us no matter how old you are or what your profession career or status, love is fair to everyone and you just tell the truth to the people who you love, especially on xmas eve. Then end of the film is pretty impressive, it recorded people welcome their friends, families and lovers at the airport. It tells us that love actually is all around us.

Correction –

My favorite film is Love Actually, which portrays ten love stories around Christmas time. I love it because it gives me multiple perspectives on love. Like a prime minister’s love for his secretary, which he can’t disclose. Or A superstar who is gay and loves his agent, but he doesn’t want to admit it even to himself. And a writer’s love for his foreign housekeeper, but because of the language barrier they rarely communicate with each other, but they both know there is some chemistry, but neither of them dare tell the truth to the other. And a man who is in love with his best friend’s wife, but of course he can’t confess his love to her. And another man who just cheated on his wife before christmas. Eventually all of them come clean to the other on christmas eve. That’s the reason I love this film, because it teaches us no matter your age, profession or status, love is fair to everyone. And you should just be honest with the people who you love, especially on xmas eve. The end of the film is pretty impressive, they recorded real people welcoming their friends, families and lovers at the airport. It tells us that love actually is all around us.
