My family usually watches films together at weekends. Sometimes we go to the
cinema, but most of the time we watch films at home. It's a cheap
entertainment activity because we don't have to buy tickets. It also improves
our relationship because it brings us closer. My parents spend quality time with
us, and we don't use our phones. Besides, after watching a film, we talk about
its lessons and share what we like about it. This is a good way to learn about life
and the world. Finally, watching films, especially those in English, helps us
improve our language skills. So why don't you start watching films with your
family? You can see the good things it brings.

III. WRITING

5

Write a paragraph of about 70 words about your favourite means
of transport. You may use the following questions as cues.

 My

favorite means of transport is the bicycle. It is eco-friendly,
does not cause pollution, and helps me stay fit. Riding a
bicycle is also a great way to enjoy fresh air and beautiful
scenery. It is very convenient for short distances, especially in
crowded cities where traffic jams are common. Moreover,
cycling saves money because I do not have to pay for fuel or
tickets. That is why I love using my bicycle every day.

My favourite means of transport is bus. I take
a bus to go to school on a daily basis. Buses
are environmentally friendly and they help
reduce the number of private vehicles.
Therefore, we can join hands to reduce the
negative influence of air pollution and traffic
jams . Besides, travelling by bus is cheap
and convenient. I do believe that people
should use buses more often.
