I'm Jenny. I'm a movie lover and I want my kids to like movies, too. The first time I took my daughter, May, to the movie theater, she was 6 and the movie was Bambi. I chose it because I thought a cartoon movie would be good for her.
Everything was going just fine and Bambi was so lovely. However, when man killed Bambi's', my daughter became very sad and asked to go home. So we left in the middle of the movie. Later I chose movies more carefully and my daughter watched many great ones. Luckily, she likes movies as much as I do now.
My worry is: Are cartoons really safe for kids?
Once I sat on the sofa to watch a cartoon with my 8-year-old son, Nick. I got dumbfounded when I saw a cartoon character was bleeding (流血) in front of us. The cartoon was like an action movie for adults (成人) !
The next time you take a kid to the movie theater, be careful. Maybe a cartoon isn't the best. You should take the time to watch it first (It's a habit with me.) . Or the kid may get messages he or she isn't ready to get yet.
Three students are giving their opinions about what a good friend should be like.

I think a good friend should be honest (诚实的). That's more important than any other thing. And it is where a real friendship starts. If a person isn't honest, he may lose his friends' trust. |
|
Jerry |
I think a good friend has to be generous (慷慨的). Here being generous doesn't mean he has to give his friends money or clothes. It means he should share his ideas and feelings with his friends. In fact, his friends can know him better in this way. |

Mary |
In my opinion, a good friend should understand his friends. When there's something wrong between him and his friends, he must put himself in his friends' place and think more of his friends. |
