1. Read Nick’s review of the film Titanic on his blog. Then find and underline these words in the passage. What do they mean?
Mon, Apr 20, ...
Titanic is a romantic film, which was directed by James Cameron. However, it’s also about a disaster. It stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. The film is about the sinking of the ship Titanic on its first voyage. The main characters are Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater. Jack saves Rose from killing herself during the journey on board the ship. Although they are from different social classes, and Rose is already engaged, they fall in love. The film has a sad ending: the Titanic sinks and more than a thousand people die in the disaster, including Jack. Critics say it is a must-see. I agree, because the story is moving and the acting is excellent. The special effects, visuals, and music are also incredible.
Titanic is a very sad film. Nevertheless, many people
really love it. Go and see it if you can.
