Films can tell us a lot about the country where they were made. What have you learned about a country from watching its movies? Use specific examples and details to support your response.
Do you ever watch movies from other countries? Whenever I do, I think about how similar people really are all around the world. Even though the cultures and languages in those movies are different from mine, people all around the world are alike in their goals and emotions.
你看过其他国家的电影吗？每当我这样做的时候，我都会想世界各地的人有多相似。尽管这些电影中的文化和语言与我的不同，但全世界的人在目标和情感上都是一样的。
One time, I saw a movie made in china that showed parents helping their children with their homework. . My parents helped me the same way. Another time I saw a movie from Argentina. It showed school children playing hide and seek, which is a game I used to play with my friends during recess. Seeing these films demonstrated to me that education is a common goal in every country. Parents want their children to learn so their lives will improve. It also showed me that children in schools everywhere wants to play with their friends. Sometimes the games are similar to ours and sometimes they're different. Still, they all have the common purpose of fun and learning to work together.
有一次，我看了一部中国制造的电影，电影中父母帮助孩子做作业。我父母也这样帮助我。另一次我看了一部阿根廷电影。它显示学校的孩子们在玩捉迷藏，这是我在课间和朋友们玩的游戏。看这些电影向我表明，教育是每个国家的共同目标。父母希望他们的孩子学习，这样他们的生活就会改善。它还告诉我，各地学校的孩子都想和朋友一起玩。有时比赛和我们的相似，有时又不同。不过，他们都有一个共同的目标，那就是玩得开心，学会一起工作。
Earning a living is another common goal. I've often seen that in movies about other countries. In some countries, people choose their careers from what they like and are good at. In other countries, careers are chosen for them following the traditions of their families. But in every country it seems that people care a great deal about earning a living, and working hard is respected.
谋生是另一个共同的目标。我经常在其他国家的电影中看到这一点。在一些国家，人们从自己喜欢和擅长的事情中选择自己的职业。在其他国家，他们是按照家庭的传统来选择职业的。但在每个国家，人们似乎都非常关心谋生，努力工作是受人尊敬的。
Showing people having fun together is always an important part of any movies, no matter what country it comes from. People everywhere want to be entertained, and want to spend time with their families and friends. Different cultures sometimes enjoy different activities, but all cultures enjoy some form of sports, music and dancing.
无论来自哪个国家，让人们在一起开心总是任何电影的重要组成部分。世界各地的人们都想得到娱乐，想和家人和朋友在一起。不同的文化有时享受不同的活动，但所有的文化都享受某种形式的运动、音乐和舞蹈。
The movies I've seen make it clear to me that no matter the cultural differences between countries, people everywhere have the same basic needs and goals.
我看过的电影清楚地告诉我，无论国家之间的文化差异，世界各地的人都有相同的基本需求和目标
