Pirates of the Caribbean

Hi, Amanda!

A It was great to hear from you! Actually, I’ve seen a really good film recently — Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End. It’s a brilliant action-packed adventure film!

B In the film, Will, Elizabeth and Barbossa are on a quest to rescue Captain Jack Sparrow (played by Johnny Depp) and release the sea goddess Calypso to destroy a ship called The Flying Dutchman. The plot is thrilling with lots of twists and turns and the special effects are excellent. I think the actors, including Keira Knightley, Orlando Bloom and of course Depp, give fantastic performances, too. I would definitely recommend this film for your DVD evening as I think it’s a film that most young people would enjoy.

C How long is the exchange student staying with you for? Do you get on well with her? Has she been going to school with you?

D Anyway, I hope you enjoy your DVD evening and the rest of the exchange student’s stay. Write back soon!

Love,
Diana
