   A film you love

   Talking about my favorite film, I want to tell you the film “The Shawshank Redemption”. When I heard the name of the film first time, I considered the Shawshank to be a man’ name, but in face it is a jail——a hell in the world. It’s not only for the inhumanity of the jailors——they behaved brutally; but also for the jail gnawed（侵蚀）at people’ heart by keeping them waiting and waiting as life passed. It seemed that only those utterly worthless people who gave up everything could survive. That’s where the story happened.

   The story is about a bank executive Andy, who discovered that his wife was having an affair with another man. She turned up dead shortly afterwards and he was brought to trial and convicted. Andy was ordered to serve a life sentence in prison. Although his life was changed, he didn’t lose his hope. Finally, he escaped through the tunnel that he had dug through the wall with his rock hammer, and went down to Mexico.

   The plot impressed me most is when Andy got out of the jail. He extended his arms in front of him in the heavy rain as if he were welcoming the fresh air and the freedom. At that moment, I saw the faith win the darkness, discharging light dazzling the eyes in the dark blue sky. Under the light, I could feel my heart being shivering as he said, “Remember, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies!”

   I love this movie, because it encourages people to fight to preserve the dignity of human beings, to appreciate the beauty of life, and most importantly is to keep hope forever. Everyone is the same. The only difference is whether busy living or busy dying. The film tells me even a man can live once, but if he keeps faith, keeps hope and fulfills his dream, then once is enough. The faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark; the hope is the chief happiness that this world affords; and the life should be full of the singing of the bird and the happiness.

   So far, this is my favorite movie ever. I love it not only because of the plot of the movie, but also because of the inspirations I got from it.

   电器类

   A piece of electronic equipment

    Talking about a piece of electronic equipment, I want to talk about my fantastic mobile phone – iPhone.

   It is super thin and incredibly light. Its size is specifically designed to be perfect for all the users, and it’s easy for me to carry it in my pockets or handbag.

   My iPhone which featured a high-resolution（辨率）display can function as a video camera, a camera phone and a portable media player. It has a beautiful 3.5-inch widescreen from which I can enjoy videos, TV shows, and movies. The visual enjoyment is super cool!

   Besides, iPhone features the most advanced web browser ever on a portable device, and it has both Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity. I can read informative news in a bus, check emails, send texts, and even receive visual voicemails, because I have access to the Internet anytime and anywhere.

   Another feature about the iPhone is that, like the iPod, it can be easily updated with new features. Millions of "apps"（应用程序）can be downloaded from the App Store. These apps have diverse functions, including games, reference, GPS navigation, social networking and security. When such new software is available, I can plug my iPhone into my computer and the new stuff I chose can be downloaded into the phone automatically. I even downloaded an English dictionary so that I can look up words quickly.

   Fortunately, my iPhone has a fast, dual core processor（双核处理器）, so people can make a phone call while emailing a photo or surfing the web over a Wi-Fi connection.

   It also has a natural language voice control system called Siri. Siri can let me use my voice to send messages and schedule meetings. I can ask Siri to do things just by talking the way I talk. Siri understands what I say, knows what I mean, and even talks back. It’s amazing! I believe I’ll keep finding more and more ways to use it.
