My favorite movie star is Wu Jing. He is a great actor. He looks handsome. He had a film called the Battle at Lake Changjin《长津湖》recently. It’s a wonderful war film. And it is very popular these days. I think it’s moving (感人的).
But Li Ming likes Shen Teng best. He thinks his movies are fun. He will laugh loudly when he watches them. One of Shen Teng’s movies is Crazy Alien (《疯狂的外星人》). But I don’t think it’s great.

【推荐3】Love is a two-way street
A father sat at his desk and looked at his bills when his young son rushed in and said, “Dad, because today is your birthday and you’re 40 years old, one for each year!” When the boy started making good on his word (履行诺言), the father shouted, “don’t do it now. I’m too busy!”
The boy soon fell silent as tears fell from his big blue eyes. Feeling sorry, the father said, “You can finish later.” The boy said nothing but quietly walked away, “Come and finish the kisses now, Andrew!” But the boy didn’t respond (回应).
Unfortunately, a few days later after the father’s birthday, the boy had an accident and died. His father wrote: “If only(要是……，该多好), Icould tell him how sorry and sad I am for my thoughtless words, and could be assured that he knows how much my heart is hurting.” He regretted not accepting the boy’s kisses and now he had lost the chance forever.
Love is a two-way street. Any loving act must be warmly accepted, or others will take it as a“NO” and it can leave a scar (伤痕). If we are too busy to give and receive love with love to those who are close and precious to us. If we don’t receive love, our life will lose its true meaning. Nothing is more important than accepting love from those who are near and precious to us.
