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.

　　Liu Xiang was the first Asian to win the men’s 110m hurdles（跳栏）at the Olympic Games in Athens. After that he became an idol（偶像）to the young people. When Liu Xiang crossed the finish line far ahead of the other players, in a world record-equaling time of 12.91 seconds, many fans burst into tears. It was Liu’s first Olympics and he won the gold medal.“I never thought I could run under 13 seconds, and I never thought I would break the Olympic record,”said Liu in tears,“I am very, very excited. This is a wonder. I’m proud not just for myself and for Chinese but for Asia. My race went wonderfully from start to finish,”Liu added.“It is an amazing experience being the Olympic champion. I want to thank my coach and my friends for all their help. I think today we Chinese have showed the world we can run as fast as anybody else.”

　　When Liu was a grade four student in a primary school, he was chosen by the Junior Sports School of Putuo District in Shanghai to practice jumping. But when a bone test showed he would not become a tall man, Liu was asked to give up practicing after one year although he had won the national championship for his age group. Liu’s parents also wanted him to give it up and study more at school, but Liu decided to continue practicing jumping. In 1998 when Liu Xiang, aged 15, met the famous coach Sun Haiping, his career changed greatly. Sun believed Liu was a rising star and after visiting Liu’s parents several times, finally he persuaded them to let Liu practice the ll0m hurdles. Since his return from Athens, Liu has been at the center of a media circus（媒体焦点）. He became well known around the world. But Liu thinks 2004 is just the beginning, he will be better in 2008, he said,“For some players, it’s just a job. For me, it’s what I love.”
