Greatest film moments: Review

When it comes to iconic film moments, few can compare to the dramatic scene from ‘Harry Potter and the Deadly Hollows: Part 2’ where Harry defeats Voldemort. In this unforgettable moment, Harry faces the Dark Lord in a final showdown during the battle of Hogwarts. The tension r4eaches its peak as Voldemort’s curse backfires, leading to his destruction. This scene not only symbolizes Harry’s triumph over evil but also represents the culmination of his journey throughout the series. The emotional intensity, the build-up for years of storytelling and stunning visual effects make this moment a worthy inclusion in any collection of greatest films.

On the other hand, ‘The Kissing Booth’ offers a much less memorable moment. In a key scene, Elle intervenes in a fight between Noah and his brother Lee by telling Noah, “Look at me”. While this line resonates with some fans of the film, it feels somewhat forced and lacks the emotional depth of more iconic moments. The film is more about teenage drama and romance, rather than offering a scene that leaves a lasting impact While it may appeal to those who enjoy light-hearted romantic comedies, it doesn’t hold up as one of the greatest film moments when compared to more powerful cinematic moments like those in Harry Potter.

In conclusion, while ‘The Kissing Booth’ has its moments, it doesn’t belong in a collection of the greatest film scenes. ‘Harry Potter’; however, deserves a place with its legendary ending.

One-day study trip: Proposal

Introduction

This proposal outlines suggestions for a one-day study trip for our history class. At the end, some recommendations will be presented.

The Palace of Versailles

This palace is a symbol of the absolute monarchy of France. A visit here would allow students to explore the 17th and 18th century French history in depth, including the reign of Louis XIV and the origins of the French revolution. However, its vast size may limit what we can cover in a single day.

The D-day Landing Beaches

The Normandy beaches are an iconic site for WWII history. Visiting these beaches, along with the nearby museums, offers a powerful and emotional experience, connecting students with the events of the D-day. This trip, however, requires significant travel with time and might reduce the time available for exploration.

The Louvre Museum

The Louvre with its rich collection of historical attracts, provides a comprehensive overview of global and French history. Specific exhibits and their central location make it convenient for a one-day trip.

Recommendations

In order to achieve the best trip, we might consider the following:

  • Expenses: Ensuring the destination is cost effective.
  • Time: Choosing a location that maximizes on-site exploration while minimizing travel time.
  • Number of students: Seeking a destination that can comfortably accommodate a group of 30.

By taking these into account, we can plan a trip that significantly enhance our understanding of history, making learning more interactive and memorable.

Choosing renewable energy for a tourist island

We often hear that renewable energy is the key to a sustainable future. Since we struggle to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, it is necessary to select the right type of renewable energy. Among the available options, wind turbines and solar panels are great options. This essay will discuss the sustainability of these energy sources seeking the best option.

Wind turbines are an efficient way to generate energy, especially in windy locations, such as coastal areas. They can produce large amounts of electricity making them a reliable source for an Island. However, the noise generated by the turbines may disturb the peaceful environment that tourists are looking for on an island.

On the other hand, solar panels are a better option in terms of noise since it is quieter and cleaner. Solar panels are easier to maintain leading to a minor waste of money. Moreover, they are less visually intrusive, they can be installed everywhere without major problems for tourists to enjoy the view.

As a conclusion, both wind turbines and solar panels offer a great amount of energy and are a great option for an island. However, solar panels appear to be better, since they do not interrupt the environment and have a lower visual impact. By choosing solar panels, the island can adopt renewable energy while preserving the natural qualities for tourists.

The journey of learning a new language

In this report, I will describe my experience learning new languages. The final section will be about strategies to keep learning.

Speaking different languages

Nowadays, I am able to speak at least three languages, Spanish, English, and Japanese, which have helped me understand a variety of texts and information. I have Spanish as my mother tongue so it has been easier to learn English at University. It is a different case with Japanese that I have only learnt it for the sake of fun and it has been by far difficult.

Complexities

Considering my experience learning languages, I must say that it has not been an easy path. Learning a new language requires a lot of effort and discipline since you cannot expect to know how to speak a new language in the blink of an eye.

In my case, one of my strengths is English because it is a universal language, Spanish speakers share the same alphabet so writing is not a problem. On the contrary, writing in Japanese is definitely a weakness, since they have three different alphabets you require both good memory and handwriting.

Recommendations

To keep learning languages efficiently, these are some strategies that I apply that might help you too, such as:

  1. Organize the time spent on learning new vocabulary.
  2. Look for new books that may help with grammar.
  3. Watch the news in the language that it is being learnt.

These strategies have helped me in my journey of learning new languages. If this helps more learners, I will be willing to help anybody.
