My name is James Brown. I have an 8-year-old daughter. Her name is Ann. Her favorite activity is watching movies. She watches movies once a week . Movie World is in my neighborhood . And it is the biggest movie theater in the city . It has the most comfortable seats and the best sound . She likes watching movies there.
Last Sunday, I took her to Movie World to watch the movie Epic(森林战士). Epic is a movie about a father Bomba and his 17-year-old daughter Mary. Bomba was interested in looking for Leaf Men. He said they lived in a forest, but no one believed(相信)him. One day , Mary was swept into (调入) the world of the Leaf Men, and she found her father was right.
At this early-afternoon showing, the theater was almost full. 60% of the audiences were kids aged three to ten and their fathers. I didn’t think it was because of the movie itself. In fact, a study showed that dads were 50% more likely than moms to take young kids to the movies in the United States.
