ESL 095 listening log


The movie I watched was called “The Emperor’s New Groove”, which is the animated comedy from Walt Disney. A super selfish, spoiled emperor, Kuzco being turned into a llama by his ex-associates (Yzma & Kronk), finds himself and what he should do as an emperor of a country. A peasant-poor farmer, Pacha helps him to turn into human, and to win back his throne-the emperor’s chair again. The main character, Kuzco annoys people around him; he does whatever he wants no matter it is wrong. However, once being llama, he learns what the life is, what is the emperor should be. The comedy scenes made me laugh most of the parts, but made me think about being selfish. Compared to standard movies; Disney movies are easier to understand without subtitles.

Listening log esl095

The TV show called "Glee" and "Bones" are one of my favourite. I have been watching Bones over a year, and I started watching Glee since I came to Canada. They are on TV every Tuesday and Thursday at 8pm. Glee is about High school's musical club and how the club member and teachers grow up. The songs in every episode make me so happy and they help me to get motivated. Bones is a little bit more serious TV show; a FBI agent, Booth and super genius science doctor, Brennan cooperate to solve the mysterious crime case. One common thing could be said in both TV shows is, they have human issues, such as romance, and humour. Some parts make me laugh, happy, sad, cry.... I really enjoy those TV show every week. Here are links from youtube, and you can get Glee album from CD shop;)
