Some people prefer to watch films on TV, other on the computer&nbsp;&nbsp;or at the cinema. Everyone has different kind of preferences.<br />Most popular movies in my school&nbsp;<br />After talking with other kids in my English school about their favorite films the 3 most liked films are: Harry Potter, Star Wars and Dumbo .<br />The first film is Harry Potter. In my English school all the kids aged 7 years or older like&nbsp;&nbsp;Harry Potter and I like it too. They like it because they like the suspense and the magic of the castle of Hogwarts like the spell of the roof in the main hall. They like a lot the characters, the most liked are: Harry Potter, Hermione&nbsp;Granger and Draco Malfoy. My favorite character is Hermione Granger.<br />The second film is Star Wars. A lot of kids aged 7 or older like Star Wars. They like it because they like fights in the space, the explosions, the characters and because it&rsquo;s a&nbsp;&nbsp;little scary. Their favorite characters are: Luke Skywalker and Darth Father.<br />The last film is Dumbo. All the kids 6 aged or younger like Dumbo because it&nbsp;&nbsp;is cute and his story already very famous. The favorite character is Dumbo.<br />&nbsp;<br />My favorite film<br />My favorite film is Harry Potter. I like it because I like the magic and the spells of the film. My favorite spells are: Vingardium leviosa, halomora, expeliamus and lumos. I remember many movies scenes by heart because I like it a lot. My favorite character is Hermione Granger (Emma Watson). I like her because is beautiful and very good at Hogwarts ,in the film Hermione knows all the spells by heart and she is a model student. Of all the eight films my favorite are:the philosopher's Stone and the chalice of fire.<br />Hermione&nbsp;<br />The philosopher&rsquo;s stone The chalice of fire<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />Irene Maria Amodeo<br /><br /></div>  <div class="paragraph">&#8203;Grade 4 Winner - "Soccer is Changing"<br />&#8203;<br />Cristiano Ronaldo is in the past; now the players of the moment are Kystow Piatek and Niccol&ograve; Zaniolo after the match between Juventus and Milan. This a great time to be a young player in the Serie A. Who do you think will be bought and by which teams ? The answer is easy - the big teams will buy the best players.&nbsp;<br />Young, strong and with great future ahead; the Serie A of this year shows a positive sign for the whole national team. There are many examples such as Zaniolo, Piatek, Donnarumma, Bernardeschi, Chiesa just to name a few, a true golden age for Italy and the effects are seen in the championship, the teams are younger and play in a loose and fun way like Atalanta. The Serie A is returning to the most competitive championship in the world. Piatek's goals, Zaniolo and Chiesa's dribbling along with Donnarumma and Meret (goalkeepers) are the symbol of the new Serie A and we are sure that the Italian national team will also be back on top soon thanks to these great champions.<br /><br />Daniele Scotto &nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br /></div>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
