I want to be a critic.

Dear boys and girls,

I'd like to demonstrate one of the student's presentations about films. I hope it will be interesting for you. Is it difficult to be a critic? A lot of people think that it is very easy. You simply watch a film or play and say why you like it or not. Do you want to be a critic?

1. Decide what you can tell your readers to encourage them to watch the film-interview and movie.
2. Be honest, if there is anything you don't like about the film. Choose your words carefully and check that you have included something on:

• the story
• the setting
• the main characters
• the actors
• the music
• the director

Good Luck!
