Princess Bride Movie Review

Today, I will introduce the famous movie Princess Bride. I had to see this movie because the teachers said so.
 As I said, Princess Bride is a famous which has many genres. It can be comedy, romance, adventure, and fantasy.
 The movie starts by a grandfather reading a book to his grandson in a bedroom. First of all, the story begins with an introduction of Westley, a man with blond hair, who will be the hero of the movie. But he isn't alone to be presented. The Princess Buttercup is introduced too. The Princess is fiancee of the prince prince Humperdink. However, she doesn't want to marry him but with Westley. But suddenly Indigo, Fezzik, and Vizzini kidnaps Princess Buttercup because the king needed a reason to start the war. Next, they arrives in an area in which lives the shrieking eels. The Princess nearly died but Fezzik saves her. They arrives to the cliff and climbs it helped by Fezzik. But a mysterious black man follows them. Indigo cuts the rope. However he survives and climbs it finally. He beats Indigo by a duel and goes to save Buttercup. Next, Fezzik waits to fight. The black man beats him too. Finally, the black man plays a game with Vizzini and as in the other movie it does, the black man(who seems to be a good guy) kills him this time. However Indigo and Fezzik only faint. Now, while talking with Buttercup, the black man reveals himself, he's Westley. They goes to the fire swamp together. Suddenly, Buttercup falls into a quick sand. Westley saves her and they also fought against the unusual sized rats. Westley got seriously injured. After they got out of the fire swamp, the army of the six fingered man captures Westley and tortures him by talking off his life. Buttercup is captured again to marry Humperdink. But Indigo and Fezzik tries to make revive Westley and they become one team. United,they beats but doesn't kill the six fingered man.
 Now I think this movie's scenario was a bit predictable I mean obvious. The message is clear(that true love is stronger than anything) but I guess it's too ordinary. Maybe because it's an old movie. And there were some stupid jokes(?) like when Buttercup pushes Westley down the hill and immediately follows him by rolling down there. So I think its an old fashioned movie and unfortunately, I can't say that I liked it.
 PS: here it's trailer

My goals to accomplish in 30 days

 This is my second post in my blog. Today I will tell you about my goals that I can accomplish in 30 days. My motivation to post this is a video of Matt Cutts. There are 3 goals that I want to achieve.
 In 30 days, I won't forget to do my homework. I often can't go to my first self studying time because of extra lessons. It is going to be a hard to keep this promise but I will try.
First of all, I think that I have to write homework on a notepad. Otherwise, I forget to do it like yesterday for Mock Trial lesson. Secondly, I should use my time wisely (keep my concentration on the work) while self study time if I can have one.
 My next goal to achieve in 30 days is to finish reading my 2 french books. I suppose I should read at least 10 pages a day. Next, I need to take books wherever I go, if I don't have time or if I couldn't finish it.
 Finally, I don't want to get any EOP papers (it is a punishment for when I speak Korean) til the end of the camp. For that, I must try to stop speaking (Korean). If I can't do that I should whisper while talking in Korean. Especially, I got caught in the cafeteria so I will be careful there. 
 I hope that I can keep my promises and achieve them so that I could be a better student. Thanks for reading.

introduction

                                      Introduce
 My name is Hyung Jip Lee. It means brother's house in Korean (just joking). Today I will share three things about myself with you guys. First of all, I was born in France. It's because my parents were working there once. This fact helped me to apply to an international school. Not only was I born there but lived there for 4 years.
 Secondly, I love to play football. Before I came to this camp, I played it everyday for almost 3 hours. This is one of the reasons why number 3 is important to me. Another one is because it is also the number of days I can last without doing any sports.
 So this is me. A boy who can't last 3 days without sports and who has a bizarre name.


 Thanks for reading!

PS : One of my dreams is to become like Messi. As good as him at dribbling. The second one is to become a doctor.
