Task. Read the short texts about fantasy creatures. There are lots of stories about fantasy animals. Here is some information about four famous fantasy animals. Unicorns were beautiful creatures like horses. They had a long pointed horn in the middle of their foreheads. Unicorns were a sign of good luck, but only honest people could see them. Centaurs were wild creatures. They were half-man, half-horse. Most centaurs were soldiers but one centaur was different. His name was Chiron. He was a famous teacher. When he died he changed into a star called Sagittarius. Chinese dragons were good, friendly and intelligent. They were made from the parts of nine animals: a snake's body, a fish's scales, a clam's stomach, a tiger's feet, an eagle's claws, a camel's face, a deer's antlers, a cow's ears and golden eyes. Griffins were very strong creatures. They had a lion's body and an eagle's head and wings. They were the kings of all the animals and birds. Write the names of the creatures under the pictures.
MY FAVORITE MOVIE
I like movies very much, especially fantasy. My favorite movie is Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. The movie came out in 2001, but it is still very good. Of course, I have seen all the Harry Potter movies, but the first one is special for me.
The movie is set in modern England and in a fictional place called Hogwarts. The story is a mixture of real-life drama and fantasy. The main character of the movie is a ten-year-old orphan Harry. His parents died when he was a baby, and now he lives with his foster parents and his stepbrother who do not like him. Although Harry has a family, he is a very lonely boy.
What I like about this movie is how drastically Harry’s life changed one day. On his eleventh birthday he was invited to study at Hogwarts, the magic school that, as it turned out, his parents attended. He started learning how to use magic and fly on a broomstick. He found good friends and a new home. At the beginning of the movie, Harry is just an ordinary boy. At the end of the movie, he is a hero and one of the most promising young wizards in Hogwarts.
In case you have not seen this movie, I would strongly recommend you to watch it, as well as the other Harry Potter movies.
