The suggested paragraph
Of all the films I have seen, “ Tom and Jerry” is the one I like best. “ Tom and Jerry” is a cartoon film. It is about the conflicts between a cat and a mouse namely Tom and Jerry living under one roof. The film is made by Walt Disney Entertainment Corporation, America. It is based on the contrary natural characteristics of cat and mouse. The main characters are Tom and Jerry. Tom is envious and fond of surpassing the others but he has a superficial mind while Jerry is quick-minded and has cunning tricks. Despite their conflicts, there is still a good friendship between Tom and Jerry whenever they are in serious situations. The film gives me a good lesson about a friendship. We sometimes have many different points of view from our friends but we have to help together to study better.
