My favourite movie is Soul Surfer. One of my three reasons why I really enjoy watching this movie is because it is a true story. I really love true stories because I know how the people live, and learn about the places they live in. I also like true stories because it is amazing to see 13teen year old Bethany Hamilton loose 60 per cent of her blood in a shark attack.

My second reason is I love to surf too. I used to surf in South Africa. So I think Bethany and I have something in common. I also like the surfing competitions because I imagine me doing all those amazing and spectacular tricks some day.

I really found this movie entertaining because there was so much going on at the same time so you never get bored. When Bethany was surfing with her best Alana I felt really happy because they where laughing and having fun, but then when there was a competition and I felt really worried because there were no good and powerful waves in the sea. Then I felt really scared because suddenly a shark jumps out of the water and bites Bethany's left arm off and I was so terrified. I also felt down and sad because Bethany couldn’t do every thing she used to do, But Bethany never gave up after a couple of months and years. In know time she was back in the water doing the thing she loves best

SURFING !
