U NIT 1 A Visit to a Movie Theater

From my diary
I went to see a movie yesterday. It was
Harry
Potter. The movie was very good and I enjoyed it.
I hope there will be more Harry Potter movies.
There are several Harry Potter books, so I think there will be more movies. Children all over the
world are reading about Harry Potter. The sto- ries were written by an English woman. She was
very poor and wrote them to earn money to feed her children. Now she is a very rich writer. The
Harry Potter books have sold more copies than any other children’s books. I am not the only one
who likes the books a lot.
