    I do not have a favorite movie, I like many, for example: Titanic. It is a love story but a fiction about a rich and young woman Rose De Witt Bukater(she travels with her mother and her fiancé) and a poor artist Jack Dawson. He saved Rose’s life and the friendship between booth deepens. Rose decides to choose freedom and poverty before misery and safety and they are very happy for some hours, until the ship hits an iceberg...

    The principal actors are: Leonardo Di Caprio as Jack and Kate Winslett as Rose. The director is James Cameron.

Rose decides to choose freedom and poverty before misery and safety. and They are very happy for some hours, until the ship hits an iceberg....

    It's a beautiful story, but tragic. Isn't?

    Maria, you did well as usual, but a few words weren't pronounced properly -- maybe because they were mixed with your accent, such as on  poor, principal actors, saved, decides.
