VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [W]

Use the vocabulary from today’s upgrading in some writing

I’m going to talk about one of my favourite movies which name is Spirited Away, created by the famous artist Miyazaki Hayao from Japan. The main character of this animated film is an adorable 10-year-old girl, who accidently stepped in a strange world with her parents on their way home. To save her parents who turned to pigs after eating food of the world, the girl had to work in a bath house ran by an old witch where monsters of the world would come to take bath, while she only had a month to find a way to save her parents, otherwise her parents would be pigs permanently and slaughtered. After series of adventures and risks, the girl finally got the chance to save her parents, and she did it by solving the test of the witch, which was to choose her parents from 12 pigs max. I think the aim of the movie is to discuss the pain of growth, friendship, responsibility and trust.
