Good morning．I’m Chen Hua．Here’s my culture report for today, Monday：
A new film starts tonight at the student cinema at eight o’clock．The film is Pirates of the Carribean．It’s a fantastic adventure film．Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom are the stars．They are both very popular and famous, and they both act well in this film, and make their characters believable．
The story is about an old ship．It sails around the Carribean islands．Depp and Bloom try to find some lost gold．Then they come fare to face with some terrible men, and have to fight them．There's lots of action, and the fighting looks really dangerous．They also saves Keira Knightly．She plays Elisabeth, the daughter of a rich man．The scenes with Knightly and Bloom are beautiful and romantic．
The film isn't true to life, but it' s very exciting, and some of it is very funny．It' s an enjoyable film, although in my opinion there's too much fighting．But except for that, it's an excellent film．U you didn't see it when it first came out, I advise you to go and see it now．I' m sure you' 11 enjoy it．It' s showing all week．

An old man was fishing on the bank of a river．A child came to see him fishing．The old man was really good at fishing and it didn't take long for him to catch a full basket of fish．The old man saw that the child was very cute, and he wanted to give her a whole basket of fish．But the child shook her head．The old man was surprised and asked, "Why don't you want the fish?
The child replied," I want the fishing rod(竿)in your hands．"
The old man asked," Why do you want the rod?"
"It doesn't take long to eat all the fish in a basket．But if I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself and I won't be afraid of not having any more fish to eat．
I think you will certainly say that the child is very smart．Wrong! If she doesn't know how to fish, she cannot have fish to eat, even though she has the fishing rod．It's useless to only have a fishing rod．Fishing skills are the most important, not the fishing rod．
Too many people think that if they have a "fishing rod" in their life, they will no longer fear the wind and rain．They are just like the child, who thought that if she had a fishing rod, she would have fish to eat．
