Summary
This video describes a child who is looking for a place to visit, but he doesn't know where it is. When he arrived at his destination, he bought a pair of sandals, and met a Chinese girl. When the man pointed out the place he wanted to visit, the girl immediately agreed to accompany him. Finally they left, with the girl as the driver. But the girl instead took the man to another place. Capture the moment through the camera, buy strawberries, and see the beautiful scenery. Until finally, the man was angry because the girl did not take him to his destination. On the way their car broke down. A few moments later, the car finally returned, and the Chinese man and girl arrived at their destination. The man was stunned by the place, because it was his mother's village. What was even more shocking, it turned out that the girl was a student of the man's mother who had died. And all the activities they did earlier were activities that the Chinese girl and the man's mother had done together. The man was sad, and threw his mother's ashes in that place.
Vocabularies/language expressions learnt :

2. Bore = to make somebody feel bored, especially by talking too much
3. Sightseeing = the activity of visiting interesting buildings and places as a tourist
4. Divorced = no longer married because your marriage has been legally ended
Activities : What did you do? what scores do you get
In this listening activity, I found it easier because this short film actually has subtitles. I also do listening activities while reading subtitles (but not in all parts) only a few parts have difficult vocabulary in them.
Benefits : What benefits did you learn from this topic?
I learned about how people who are not a native footballer can speak English (mixed use of the language). Apart from that, I also learned the moral of the film, which is to always take the time to visit our parents.
