Activities : What did you do? what scores do you get? 

   In this activity, I watched the film only once. This film automatically uses subtitles. I observe the film occasionally using subtitles, and occasionally I take my eyes off the subtitles. If I hear vocabulary that I don't understand, I stop the video and record the vocabulary, so that when the film is over, I can look up the vocabulary that I don't understand.

Benefits : What benefits did you learn from this topic?

    in this video I learn about the moral message of a woman's struggle. Apart from that, I also learned several English accents that are used not by native speakers, but by Chinese people. In addition, I also got a new vocabulary, which can increase my knowledge.
